A delegation from Russia headed by President Vladimir Putin visited Turkey on Nov. 19, when a ceremony marking the completion of TurkStream gas pipeline’s offshore section took place. The event was mostly symbolic, as the pipeline can be used no earlier than the end of 2019. Nevertheless, both sides marked the importance of the work done.
President Putin said that the event testifies to the effectiveness of both countries’ partner-like cooperation in accomplishing the most difficult and ambitious projects.
