Russian energy giant Gazprom may lose its shares in Akfel Holding, the largest private importer of Russian gas to Turkey, which was recently nationalized.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in December, Turkish authorities decided to take the company under the state control and removed the board of directors, with Gazprom's status in the company becoming unclear.
"We have been simply deprived of the most effective and profitable gas seller in Turkey," the source, familiar with the matter said, as quoted by the Kommersant newspaper.
According to the newspaper, Turkey's Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) currently "performs the functions of the stakeholders." The TMSF has unofficially informed Gazprom about it's new functions, the paper reported.
