Supply of Russian gas to Iran ‘quite feasible’: Putin
“Iran has been asking us for supplies for a long time. Well, this is also a very convenient place for us, the field is nearby. I believe that this is a quite feasible project, I mean that the markets are huge. And there is simply a huge need in the countries neighboring Iran,” Putin was reported by TASS as saying.
According to the Russian leader, Gazprom will restore gas supply volumes both through new markets and the domestic market owing to the Russian economy’s growth.
“There are different possibilities here. And we will develop different markets, we will work on swaps, we will liquefy, as I have already said, and so on. Of course, we will gradually restore sales volumes. There is no doubt about this. And we will develop our own economy. In many regions of the Far East, we do not have enough gas generation. We need to unite - Gazprom has such plans - the European part of the gas transportation system and the Far Eastern part in order to carry out the flows accordingly. All this is in our plans, all this will be implemented,” Putin said.
