South Stream Transport starts to assess the impact of the Turkish part of the South Stream on environment
South Stream Transport has announced the official beginning of the evaluation of the South Stream project’s impact of on the environment of the Turkish sector.
The Turkish sector is an area between the border of Turkey's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) with Russian EEZ in the east and the Bulgarian EEZ in the west. The length of the Turkish EEZ is about 470 km. The route of the South Stream should pass 110 kilometers from the Turkish coast.
Let’s add that now mass disturbances take place in Turkey.
This means that the main pipeline of the South Stream, a significant marine part of which is laid through the Turkish EEZ (besides Turkey, the sea part also passes through the economic zones of Russia and Bulgaria, and makes up 900 km) is under a great threat.
