The official told the Fars News Agency that the price issue has not yet been resolved, adding that both sides are continuing talks on the matter. Turkish Ambassador to Tehran Bozkurt Aran confirmed Ankara will continue to seek to lower the price of gas it imports from Iran by pipeline, stressing that the country is facing an upsurge in demand for natural gas due to rapid industrialization. "Our gas imports from Iran were interrupted several times this winter but the two countries settled the issue within the framework of bilateral economic cooperation," he said.
