Turkish energy projects unharmed by row with Russia, says Erdogan

Turkey's row with Moscow over the downing of a Russian jet over Syria has not affected joint energy projects, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

Russia buys about $1 billion worth of Turkish food and other products annually and is Turkey's No. 1 energy provider, shipping gas, coal and oil. It is also due to build Turkey's first nuclear power station in the town of Akkuyu, a deal worth $20 billion.
