La Turquie: futur Hub énergétique de l'europe ?

Pierre Chuvin

Revue Tiers-Monde, 2008, vol. n° 194, issue 2, 359-370

Abstract: Turkey is important for its consumption of oil and gas and as a transit country. Transit to Europe has to deal with a major obstacle, the Straits. Transit from the gas and oil fields has to go across or around the Caspian Sea. This paper is reviewing routes seeking to avoid Russian dependence, but also to make use of the Central Asian potential in oil and gas. So, « Nabucco » project gives priority to earth-transportation, totally avoiding Russian territories. These politics, where the USA play a major part, will be all the more intricate as China?s demand will increase quickly.
