Russia and Turkey could conduct negotiations over the project to build the Black Sea Turkish Stream pipeline in December, Gazprom head Alexei Miller told reporters in Antalya.

"A strategic partnership summit will take place of the highest level between Russia and Turkey, therefore the Turkish Stream will become a subject for negotiations at the interstate and intergovernmental level this year, in December," he said.

The pipeline along the bottom of the Black Sea for the Turkish Stream will for the most part go along the South Stream route which should not go to Turkey but Bulgaria. It is better to build two lines for the Turkish Stream, through which the volume of pumping will be 32 billion cubic meters annually, the Gazprom head said.

"We are working with our Turkish partners strictly on the basis of economic contacts, which are in place at the present time," Miller said.
