Erdogan tells government to start work on Russian gas hub

Ankara (AFP) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan backs the Kremlin's idea of creating an international gas hub in Turkey and wants his government to quickly present implementation plans, Turkish media reported Friday.


Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed piping natural gas to southern Europe via Turkey following the near total disruption of Russian supplies via the Nord Stream project.


The idea raised the immediate alarm of European powers such as France, with President Emmanuel Macron's office saying it made "no sense".


Now tell us again who is cutting the gas off from Europe. It aint fucking Russia.
