The Caspian region can become one of the strategic transport, transit and energy hubs of international importance.

Turkey becomes the energy hub of the region.

Turkey is becoming an important energy hub of the region thanks to such important projects as the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline projects.

Turkey’s dependence on energy resources pushes the country’s authorities to make great efforts to turn the country into the region’s energy hub. Meanwhile, the country’s geographic location, economic and political stability turns it into a perfect and even indispensable regional energy hub.

Turkey is striving to turn into a regional energy hub, Doctor Haldun Yalcinkaya at the Turkish University of Economics and Technology (TOBB) told Trend on March 4.
