Yildiz told reporters that Turkey did not have any intention to start a process regarding feasibility of use of water of Manavgat or natural gas transportation on Blue Stream 2. Those two projects were currently on preparation stage, and Turkey did not consider to exert any efforts about those projects, Yildiz said.
