Abstract

Due to its geographical location, Turkey has a transit country position between the energy producer and energy consumer countries. Turkey aims to become an energy hub in its region by using this advantage provided by its geographical location. Turkish Stream is introduced as one of the projects that will enable Turkey to achieve this goal. However, there are some important questions about the Turkish Stream. Which position Turkey will undertake in energy trade between Russia and European Union countries is the most important question. Also, Turkey's dependence of natural gas imports to Russia is another question. This study will include evaluations on the Turkish Stream aiming at Turkey's goal of becoming a natural gas hub.
