    EU-Russian Relations and Turkey's Role as an Energy Corridor
    in Europe-Asia Studies , vol. 61, n. 2, March ,  2009 ,  337-356
    This article analyses the impact of EU-Russian relations on Turkey's role as a corridor for the transit of energy supplies to Europe. While the European Union (EU) has inherent leverage in its collective purchase of most Russian gas exports, market power has shifted in Russia's favour. Russian efforts to build new pipelines and widen downstream access have stimulated EU interest in diversifying energy imports and transit routes. In this sense, the EU has recognised Turkey's potential value as a secure and independent route for importing non-Russian energy supplies, which may in turn have an impact on Turkey's EU accession process.
