He noted that Gazprom will decrease gas purchases from Turkmenistan from 10 billion cubic meters to 4 billion cubic meters in 2015.

Medvedev underlined that Gazprom will decrease gas purchase from Uzbekistan by almost 4 times to 1 billion cubic meters.

He said that almost 10 billion cubic meters, including 6 billion cubic meters from Turkmenistan and 3.5 billion cubic meters from Uzbekistan, will be replaced with Russian gas due to economic benefit. This will give additional revenue to Gazprom, Medvedev added.
