ISTANBUL - The presidents of Turkey and Russia on Wednesday formally launched the TurkStream pipeline which will carry Russian natural gas to southern Europe through Turkey, part of Moscow’s efforts to reduce shipments via Ukraine.
Russia and Turkey are also coordinating military deployments in northeast Syria, although they back opposing sides in the conflict in Syria’s northwestern Idlib region and also in the battle for control of Libya.

The pipeline terminal is near the Turkish village of Kiyikoy, some 20 km from the Bulgarian border.
Last month, the U.S. Senate approved a defense bill imposing sanctions related to both TurkStream and Nord Stream 2, as part of measures designed “to deter Russian aggression”.) will ship about 3 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Bulgaria via TurkStream, replacing a route that formerly passed through Ukraine and Romania.
