Turkey did not reach an accord on gas price with Azerbaijan yet, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz said. There are no technical issues, but some are in the scale, Turkish Vatan newspaper reports.

“First one-price for received 7bn m3 gas, second one-rate of gas from Shah Deniz field starting 2016 and price for transit. I believe Azerbaijan is concerned over our relations with Armenia. Perhaps, we did not offer sufficient explanations to Azerbaijan that will back any decision by Aliyev on relations with Armenia. Because of this, the talks on pipeline rates are delayed,” he concluded.
