The dispute over the natural gas price has turned into an "insolvable" problem in the ties between Iran and Turkey, Iran's Deputy Oil Minister, Hadi Nejad Hosseinian said on Wednesday.


“Despite our current gas exports to Turkey, the differences between the two countries over the gas price have become an inextricable problem”, said Nejad Hosseinian, adding ”However, Turkey is considered a route through which Iran’s gas is exported to Europe.”

 

According to MNA, he also mentioned, ”European countries are very keen on gas imports from Iran because they are resolute in their will to diversify their energy supply sources.”
