Experts: Turkey, Russia likely to agree on gas price dispute

MOSCOW

The gas price dispute between Turkey’s state-owned pipeline company BOTAS and Russia’s Gazprom is likely to be solved without an arbitration, experts said Sunday.

Turkey has called on the International Arbitration Court to settle a discount dispute between the state-owned companies.

Russia's Gazprom had announced a 6 percent discount on natural gas purchases from Turkey last December but Turkey demanded a further price decrease.
