Turkey is considering reducing its purchases of natural gas from Russia due to high prices, according to Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar. The minister stated that the decision is not politically motivated but rather driven by economic factors, as Russian gas is 'very expensive'. Turkey is looking to increase imports from cheaper alternatives such as the United States. The share of Russian gas in Turkey's imports has fallen from 64% in 2006 to around 37% at the beginning of 2025.
