 Research Report: The Evolution of EU-Turkey Energy Cooperation

December 2020

Abstract

"Energy" has always played an important role in the EU-Turkey relations. Because of its geographical and strategic location, Turkey has a crucial position to vary European countries supply of natural gas and oil. In this research, historical cooperation of EU-Turkey in the whole energy sector is analyzed. Despite numerous energy collaborations in which mutual gains have been achieved in the past; EU-Turkey relations is at an important breaking point today. While Turkey’s south coast Eastern Mediterranean is becoming increasingly an area of conflict, its northern coast has a potential to lead a way of regional cooperation. In this context, Eastern Mediterranean conflict and Black Sea gas potential are examined in a detail in this study.
