Russian doubts over Turkmenistan gas reserves spark anger

摘要

Gazprom deputy chief executive Alexander Medvedev said in a television interview on Friday that there are “no grounds” to believe that Turkmenistan’s South Iolotan is the second-largest gas field in the world. His comments provoked an angry reaction, with Turkmenistan’s foreign ministry calling them "yet another clumsy attempt to distort the real situation regarding Turkmenistan's resource potential, in particular its gas reserves", Reuters reported.
