俄土签署天然气管道协议

Russia and Turkey have put tensions over Syria behind them to agree a gas pipeline deal which would open a new route for Russian energy to western Europe.

俄罗斯和土耳其将双方在叙利亚问题上的矛盾搁置在一旁，达成了一项天然气管道协议，该协议将为把俄能源输送到西欧开辟一条新通道。

The TurkStream agreement between Russian president Vladimir Putin and Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul on Monday would, if implemented, redraw the energy map of Europe by allowing Russia to bypass some of its gas around Ukraine.

周一，俄总统弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)和土总统雷杰普•塔伊普•埃尔多安(Recep Tayyip Erdogan)在伊斯坦布尔达成了“土耳其溪”(TurkStream)协议。协议若得到落实，将使俄能够绕过乌克兰输送部分天然气，重绘欧洲能源版图。

It would also strengthen ties between Moscow and Ankara at a time of growing mistrust between Turkey and the west in the wake of the coup attempt that plunged the country into turmoil three months ago and killed 270 people.

该协议还将在土与西方之间猜忌与日俱增之际加强俄土两国政府之间的关系。三个月前，土国内发生未遂政变，导致270人丧生，国家也因此陷入动荡，此后土与西方之间的互不信任加深。

Monday’s agreement committed the pair to construction of two lines of pipes beneath Turkish waters on the bed of the Black Sea, with a combined capacity of 30bn cubic metres of gas. One would serve the Turkish market and the other the rest of Europe.

根据周一达成的协议，两国将致力于在黑海土耳其水域下方的海床上铺设两条天然气管道。两条管道的总输送能力为300亿立方米。一条将服务土耳其市场，另一条供应欧洲其他地区。

TurkStream, to be operated by Gazprom, the Russian state-owned gas monopoly, was proposed by Mr Putin two years ago as a replacement for the abandoned South Stream pipeline which had involved co-operation between Russia and several EU countries.

“土耳其溪”将由俄罗斯国有天然气垄断企业——俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)运营。该项目是普京在两年前提议的，用于取代遭废弃的“南溪”(South Stream)管道，该管道涉及俄与几个欧盟国家之间的合作。

Talks faltered after the crisis triggered by the shooting down of a Russian Su-24 war plane by Turkish forces over the Syrian border in November 2015. But relations have thawed rapidly since June when Mr Erdogan voiced regret for the downing of the Russian jet.

2015年11月，俄一架苏-24战机(Su-24)在土叙边境上空被土军击落，引发了一场危机，“土耳其溪”项目谈判因此陷于停滞。但自今年6月埃尔多安对俄机被击落事件表示遗憾以来，俄土两国关系已迅速解冻。
