According to a Farsi report by Asr-e Iran, Majid Boujarzadeh, the spokesman for National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), announced that Turkmenistan has to fulfil its commitments, otherwise it would be fined.
Referring to Ashgabat’s move to cut gas supplies to northern Iran, he noted that people’s access to gas in their homes is the Iranian government’s priority, and the gas supplies of power plants and industries might be temporarily cut to make up for it.
