​The President of Russia, V. Putin, and Prime-Minister of Greece, A. Cipras, have discussed the participation of Greece in Turkish Stream at the meeting in Moscow. According to Mr. Putin, there is nothing certain at the moment, however, he said that the joining of Greece will bring hundreds of million euro of profit.

“We have discussed it but nothing certain can be said as it requires preparation at various levels”, Mr. Putin said.

“It will depend on the Government of Greece after the workout of all the technical and economic issues if it will participate in this project”, he said.
