HANGZHOU (Sputnik) — On the eve of the G20 summit in the Chinese city of Hangzhou, Erdogan expressed his commitment to address all issues related to Turkey-Russia bilateral cooperation, which were raised during his long-anticipated meeting with Putin in St. Petersburg in August.

"There will be an opportunity to discuss the energy issues, as well, because there is a certain development in this sphere," Erdogan said.

On August 10, Gazprom's project management department official Anatoly Fayantsev said that the energy giant was willing to sign an intergovernmental agreement on the Turkish Stream with Turkey and was planning to update a roadmap for the halted project.

Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said that a roadmap for the Turkish Stream was expected to be worked out in October and the intergovernmental agreement was expected within several months after that.
