ANKARA: Russian energy giant Gazprom has reduced natural gas supplies to Turkey's private sector companies by 10 percent due to a price dispute officials at Turkey's energy ministry told Reuters on Thursday.

Turkish companies have refused to pay a fresh bill sent by Gazprom with higher prices after an initial deal of a 10.25 percent cut in prices was cancelled. Relations between Moscow and Ankara soured after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane last November.

An industry source said Turkey had not requested additional gas supplies from elsewhere following the cut.
