Turkmenistan insists on seliing its gas at virtualiy identical prices to ali buyers. For instance, Ukraine pays 42 USD per 1000 cu. m.

RUSYA TÜRKMENİSTAN İLE DOĞAL GAZ ANLAŞMASINI NEDEN İMZALAYAMIYOR Türkmen Başkanı Niyazov'un Moskova ziyaretinde doğal gaz anlaşması için beklenen sonuç yine alınamadı.

Gürcistan ve Ermenistan'a satılmakta olan Türkmen doğal gazı halen Rusya topraklarından geçen boru hattı kullanılarak aktarılıyor ve Rusya'ya transit geçiş ödemesi yapılıyor. in CHP."
