Russian gas became cheaper for Botas.
"Gazprom" and the Turkish state company Botas agreed on the discount on the gas, which was part of the agreement on the "Turkish stream" gas pipeline. The discount is 10.25% and will be applied retroactively from the beginning of the year, bringing the price for Botas in Q1, according to "the Kommersant", to approximately $ 332 per 1 thousand cubic meters. The agreement will allow Ankara not to resort to the extraordinary increase in gas tariffs to compensate for the weakening of the lira against the dollar.
