MINSK, 13 January (BelTA) - An attack on a TurkStream compressor station should be considered as an attack on the sovereignty of gas-receiving countries, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Péter Szijjártó said on his social media, TASS informs.
"We expect everyone to respect the safety and operability of this transport route," the Hungarian minister said.
He noted that the TurkStream pipeline is indispensable for the supply of natural gas to Hungary and Central Europe. “Security of energy supply is a matter of sovereignty, so any action that threatens the security of our energy supply should be considered as an attack on sovereignty,” the Hungarian minister said.
