Sputnik: Russia to Remain Reliable Supplier of Natural Gas to Europe: Minister
Russia will continue fulfilling all contractual obligations on natural gas deliveries to European customers, despite scrapping the South Stream pipeline project, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said Monday.
"All contracts, as well as intergovernmental agreements, remain in effect. The problem is that the European Commission is making all possible efforts to prevent the implementation of the South Stream project," Novak, who accompanies President Vladimir Putin on an official visit to Turkey, told reporters in Ankara.
"I think that Russia will continue fulfilling all its contracts. In any case, we will remain a reliable supplier of gas to European countries," Novak said.
