The expert revealed the true purpose of the attempt to undermine the “Turkish Stream”

ANKARA, 10 Oct – PRIME. The attempt to undermine one section of the Turkish Stream gas transmission system was aimed at making Turkey a victim, without Russian gas, the country would have been left in a difficult position in the winter, Turkish foreign policy expert Hasan Erel said.

The Kyiv regime tried to blow up one of the sections of the Turkish Stream gas transmission system, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday at an operational meeting with permanent members of the Security Council.

“This attempted attack may have been planned with the support of the US and the UK. It was not successful, and if it was, it could have led to the cessation of gas flows between Turkey and Russia. It could also undermine the dialogue between Turkey and Russia. Because in fact this is an attempt to make Turkey, like Germany, cut off from Russia.Because the energy relations between Turkey and Russia are at a very high level.Without the natural gas that Turkey buys from Russia, we, like the Europeans, can remain in the cold in winter. This attempt was also aimed at making Turkey a victim,” the expert said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
