OREANDA-NEWS  The import of Russian mineral fuel (coal, oil and petroleum products, natural gas) to Turkey in October 2022 amounted to $3.71 billion — a quarter lower than in September (almost $5 billion), follows from the foreign trade data of the Turkish Institute of Statistics (Turkstat) disclosed on November 29. In general, imports of goods from Russia to Turkey in October amounted to just under $ 5 billion, and in January—October — almost $ 50 billion.

But in annual terms, the supply of coal and hydrocarbons from Russia increased 2.9 times in October (in October 2021 it was $1.28 billion).

Turkstat does not disclose how much oil, coal or gas imports from Russia account for separately. "Confidential" imports from Russia in October amounted to $2.35 billion (against $3.8 billion in September), which includes imports of crude oil and pipeline gas, according to Turkstat data.
