Although anonymized before the Federal Tribunal, this case is believed to concern the arbitration between Türkmengaz and the National Iranian Gas Company.
By contracts from the mid-1990s, “A.________” (purportedly NIGC) and “B.________” (purportedly Türkmengaz) concluded a twenty-five year contract for the supply of natural gas. The supply of gas began in 1998; the contracts were amended several times over the subsequent years.
