Gazprom hits back at minister’s gas threat - Hurriyet Daily News
Kurds - Border within Iraq this is an interesting video a few months old but still

Notice they basically delimited internal borders and set units to enforce it post US-pullout, this reinforces my view that once that happens they declare independence.
P.S. the reason I find the gas dispute funny because they always show clips of Ukraine turning the wheel on the pipe to close it one way and then Russia doing the same on their end, maybe Turkey will join the annual pipe closing celebration.
Assuming they are talking about conscience mentioning "forehead". Thought deniz meant mountain ergo kara deniz black mountain, guess I am wrong.

Gazprom hits back at minister’s gas threat - Hurriyet Daily News
The company’s exports department said in a written statement that the talks on supplying natural gas to Turkey are continuing with the state-owned Turkish Petroleum Pipeline Corporation, or BOTAŞ, not the Energy Ministry.
“Gazprom exports received no information about protracting the deal from its Turkish partner BOTAŞ, The contract was signed by BOTAŞ, not the ministry,” the statement read.
The 25-year-old contract between the parties covers the transfer of 6 billion cubic meters of gas via the Western Pipeline, one of the two lines that carry Russian gas to Turkey. Gazprom’s other Turkish contract expires in 2022. In addition to the western onshore route, it supplies gas via the Blue Stream pipeline built across the Black Sea.
Gazprom supplies about 18 billion cubic meters a year of gas to Turkey, its third-biggest export market after Ukraine and Germany.
The raw natural gas prices have increased by nearly 39 percent in the last 29 months, Yıldız said. “This is why we will revise all the [natural gas] inputs. We will revise all the expiring contracts, indeed, and the Western Line is included.
Turkey depends on Russia for 60 percent of its domestic gas use.
