European commissioner on energy Andris Piebalgs ruled out possibility of Russia's participation in Transcaspian Nabucco gas pipeline.
"Russia is working at implementation of its own project -South Stream", he told reporters, according to RIA-Novosti.

It will help supply gas from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan via the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey to Europe, bypassing Russia.
