ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday he discussed overcoming outstanding issues related to the Akkuyu nuclear power plant being built by Rosatom in southern Turkey during his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, Fidan added that he had requested Putin’s support for ongoing negotiations between Russia’s Gazprom and Turkish pipeline operator Botas, in a veiled reference to Turkey’s gas payments to Russia.
