Abstract: In this article it is argued that historical rivalry for the dominance over Balkan region between Austrian-Russian and Ottoman Empires has been reproduced in the form of geopolitics of natural gas pipelines in the 21st century. In order to transport Azeri gas to South East Europe a harsh competition has been observed between some pipeline projects which have been developed by different actors that seek to pursue their own strategic interests. After a choice by Shah Deniz Consortium, TANAP and TAP projects have become the winners of this competition. During the process of three-lateral energy diplomacy between EU-Russia and Turkey, while Russia and Turkey have been taking into account each other’s positions, at the end of the day the loser had become NABUCCO Project which is supported by Austria and other central EU members.
