Gazprom plans three-party Blue Stream-2 talks

MOSCOW, June 26 (RIA Novosti) - Gazprom plans to hold talks on the Blue Stream-2 gas pipeline with Turkey and Israel in the near future, the Russian energy giant's deputy CEO said on Friday.

"We will hold three-party talks in the near future," Alexander Medvedev said.

The planned Blue Stream-2 pipeline is part of the existing Blue Stream network linking Russia to Turkey via the Black Sea, which would extend the network to Israel and other Middle East states.
