The second line of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline will be built only after receiving firm guarantees from the European Commission, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters.

According to Lavrov, the first line is being built for consumers in Turkey, while the second will be built only after receiving firm guarantees from the European Commission that they will not do the same thing as it happened with South Stream to Bulgaria, RIA Novosti reported.

“We will be ready for any option, but an option that will be 100% guaranteed by the European Commission, as one that will not be derailed,” the minister added.
