The European Union is insisting that natural gas delivered to member states via T\u00fcrkiye under new supply agreements must not be of Russian origin.<\/p>\n

German Economy Minister Katherina Reiche said<\/a><\/span> after an official visit to Ankara that “T\u00fcrkiye understands that the EU attaches great importance to ending the supply of raw materials originating from Russia and accepts this reality.”<\/p>\n

Reiche added that Turkish officials had made it clear that replacing supplies from Russia could not be achieved overnight, either economically or in terms of available alternative sources.<\/p>\n

As of June 17, a ban on pipeline natural gas imports from Russia under short-term contracts signed more than a year ago entered into force across the European Union.<\/p>\n

The measure was approved by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament at the end of last year. In January 2025, EU member states also voted to phase out Russian gas completely by 2027. Under that decision, member states are required to verify the origin of gas supplies before authorizing deliveries.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Swiss-based company Nord Stream 2 AG, the operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, has launched legal action challenging the regulation imposing the ban on Russian gas imports.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye, for its part, is continuing negotiations with Gazprom on natural gas supplies for the period after 2026, as existing contracts are approaching expiration.<\/p>\n

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar previously said the parties had yet to reach agreement on potential shipment volumes and the duration of any new contracts.<\/p>\n

In December 2025, Ankara extended by one year two agreements with Gazprom covering gas deliveries through the TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrkiye is seeking to reduce Russia’s share of its gas supply mix. Russia’s share of T\u00fcrkiye’s natural gas imports has already fallen below 40%.<\/p>\n

As part of its energy diversification strategy, Ankara plans to replace part of Russian gas imports with supplies from the United States and Central Asia.<\/p>\n

Bayraktar previously said that despite US calls to abandon Russian energy resources, T\u00fcrkiye would continue purchasing natural gas from Russia.<\/p>\n

“We cannot tell our citizens there is no gas available. We have agreements with Russia. Winter is approaching. We need gas from Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan,” Bayraktar said.<\/p>\n
