Russia: Türkiye gas hub idea in interests of all

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko has expressed his confidence that the idea of a gas hub in Türkiye will be implemented as it is in the interests of everyone: both consumers and producers of natural gas.

"The gas hub is an absolutely open idea. We hope that it will be implemented. And, by the way, it will be in the interests of everyone, both gas producers - producing countries and consumers. Again, if there is a rational behaviour of those who are really interested in gas," Gazeta.Ru reports, citing Grushko.

He criticised the West's plans for a "green transition", pointing out that it will not be possible to switch to renewable sources of light and heat as quickly as they dream about it - and therefore gas as the cleanest carbon fuel will remain the main source of energy.

The creation of a gas hub will close the issue of supply stability, demand and transit, as well as regulate legal issues of supplies.
