| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines the impact of EU-Russia relations on Turkey's role as a corridor for the transit of energy supplies to Europe. Market power has shifted in Russia's favour while the European Union (EU) has inherent leverage in its collective purchase of most Russian gas exports. EU interest in diversifying energy imports and transit routes has been stimulated due to Russian efforts to build new pipelines and widen downstream access. The EU has recognised Turkey's potential value as a secure and independent route for importing non-Russian energy supplies. This may in turn have an impact on Turkey's EU accession process. |
