As for Nagorno Karabakh, it is periodically raised at the talks between Putin with the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia. The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh continues since 1988, when populated mostly by Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous oblast (NKAO) said on secession from the Azerbaijan SSR.

For this reason, each time at a meeting of the Directors of the countries, the agenda is very extensive, especially the meeting will be held After the past in Turkey's parliamentary elections, " said Sands." of course, you will have to compare notes and to exchange views on the difficult situation in regional Affairs is the situation in the Syrian Arab Republic, without a doubt, this trade-economic cooperation between our 2 countries, and Also questions of mutual work on large projects, as well as among them in the field of energy ", - explained the press-Secretary of the President. There remains the question of the conclusion of the intergovernmental agreement on the gas pipeline "Turkish stream" and issuing Ankara permission for the erection of the pipeline. Russia in the early winter of 2014 announced the failure of the implementation of the " South stream ", which was obliged to pass through the territories of Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, in favor of a new gas pipeline towards Turkey ( "Turkish" )." Turkish stream " involves the construction of the gas pipeline capacity of 63 billion cubic meters of gas per year from Russia to Turkey across the Black sea. The pipeline length of about 1, 1 thousand Kilometers will consist of 4 strands and bring to the Turkish-Greek border to 47 billion cubic meters of gas. It is expected That on the border of Turkey and Greece gas hub will be created, and EU countries are obliged on their own to implement gas transmission capacities for the further reception of this gas on its territory. Currently Russia transports gas to Turkey through the pipeline " Blue stream ", laid under the Black sea, and the TRANS-Balkan gas pipeline through Ukraine. Russia and Turkey have agreed to increase capacity of Blue stream from 16 to 19 billion cubic meters per year. From pumping gas through Ukraine Russia wants to opt out After 2019, after the existing transit contract. In 2014, Gazprom exported to Turkey 27, 4 billion cubic meters of gas.
