DIVERSIFICATION OF SUPPLIERS IN ENERGY IMPORTS: As An Alternative Azerbaijan Gas To Russian Gas
Generally, energy security notion which discussed the basis
on supply today very important and issue has become
global scale. Not equally distributed to the global geography
of energy resources, increasing energy global consumption,
diplomatic sanctions tool to be used as a weapon
of dependence on imports of energy resources were
caused to allowing the energy struggle to move beyond the
regional conflict and the transformation into a global security issue. Energy security problem is very important
threat in that point. All states such as Turkey gives utmost
importance to energy security, inadequate in terms of energy
supply, increased consumption and increasing dependence
on insecure suppliers like Iran, Russian Federation
are effective at this point. Iran cut natural gas in winter;
Russian Federastion uses energy in all foreign policy
moves as seen in the example of the Ukraine, European
Union and Estonia. This example is an important experience
for Turkey and possible in the same move after the
“plane crisis” with Russia because of this Turkey preparing
itself for high possibility. Accelerating the TANAP project
are at the forefront of such moves, but qualification is still
controversial.
