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."
Prema Okumušu, „s obzirom da Turska nije dobila ništa zvanično od Južnog toka, možemo pretpostaviti da je ministar bar ispregovarao cenu postojećih kupovnih ugovora ili izmenio uslov 'uzmi ili plati'“.
