(MENAFN) Iran has stated that it cannot raise the export of natural gas to Turkey based on the current contract signed by the two nations, based on reports.

However, Iran has shown its intent of renegotiating a new deal with Turkey in order to deliver more gas, according to the National Iranian Gas Company.

Turkey asked for a raise in the volume of gas being delivered, and it seems Iran will only take it into consideration now and base its decision on yield capacity.
