At the beginning of 2025, Russia's share of Turkey's gas market has fallen to 37%, down from 64% in 2006, and the country intends to continue reducing purchases due to high prices, writes Kommersant. Energy Minister Alferslan Bayerkat said that Ankara is choosing cheaper American LNG. According to him, there is no talk of a complete rejection of Russian raw materials, but if the current price difference remains the same, the gas from the Russian Federation will be forced out of the market.
