Iran halved the volume of gas exported to Turkey.
Iran reduced daily gas export to Turkey from 28-30 bcm to 14-15 bcm, Haberturk reported.
Iran said that it was caused by the increase in domestic demand due to cold weather.
Haberturk newspaper claimed that Iran took this step after the warplane incident between Turkey and Russia. Iran supports Russia in this incident.
Turkey buys 6 bcm natural gas from Iran every year. It makes 18 % of gas imported by Turkey. Iran has earlier reduced the gas export to Turkey basing on domestic demand. Turkey has appealed to the court in this regard.
