Turkey filed a natural gas pricing claim against Russia, as talks over a Black Sea link that would bypass Ukraine stalled.
Botas Boru Hatlari Ile Petrol Tasima AS notified on Monday an export arm of Russia’s Gazprom PJSC that it is seeking a price revision dating back to December, the Ankara-based energy company said Tuesday in a statement. Russian President Vladimir Putin promised a 10 percent discount to Botas, which buys about two thirds of Russian gas supplied to the country, before talks on the pipeline stalled in the summer.
