SOCHI, Oct 31 The choice of Turkey as a gas hub is understandable, since it is difficult to work directly with Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
«As for the choice of Turkey as a possible hub for supplies, in this case, to Europe, it seems to me that it is clear why we are doing this, why we are proposed. Because it is very difficult to work directly with European partners,» Putin said at a press conference following the results of the trilateral summit of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.
