Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, Nov. 16 / Trend H. Hasanov /

Turkmen natural gas is being supplied to Iran on the basis of existing long term contracts, Turkmengaz state concern said on Friday.

'Gas supply via the Artyk-Lyutfabad pipeline was suspended a few days ago at the request of the Iranian side due to the need for repair work on their territory', the text stated. Upon completion of the work the gas supply was restored.

Turkmengaz state concern stated there is no disagreement over the terms of contracts.

This message from Ashgabat was a reaction to the information of Iranian and foreign media which quoted Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi as saying that "gas supplies from Turkmenistan to Iran were suspended because of a dispute over the terms of purchase."
