Prema riječima Okumusa: "Pošto Turska nije dobila ništa zvanično iz Južnog toka, možemo pretpostaviti da je ministar barem dogovorio cijenu postojećih nabavnih sporazuma ili revidirao uslove plaćanja."
According to Okumus, "because Turkey gained nothing official from South Stream, we can assume that the Minister has at least negotiated the price of the existing purchase agreements or revised the take or pay conditions."
