Putin to visit Greece for signing of oil pipeline deal

Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel to Greece next week for the signing of a long-delayed oil pipeline deal, the Kremlin said. During the March 14-15 visit, Putin will meet with the Greek and Bulgarian presidents, the Kremlin said late Tuesday. It said an agreement between the three governments for "cooperation on the construction and use" of the Burgas-Alexandroupolis pipeline would be signed during the summit.

Putin has visited Greece twice in the past two years amid talks on the 285-kilometer (178-mile) pipeline, $1.2 billion venture to carry Russian oil across Bulgaria and Greece to the Mediterranean Sea.
