Reuters - Turkey�s largest-ever natural gas discovery in the Black Sea could lead to new cooperation with Russia and Iran even as it aims to be a producer and not just a buyer, Turkish Finance Minister Berat Albayrak said on Tuesday.

�The countries we have been cooperating with for years are Iran and Russia. This new period for Turkey may lead to new cooperation with these countries,� he said in a televised interview on NTV.

Albayrak added Moscow did not cut gas supplies �even in our toughest times.�
