Abstract

The study examines the relationship of Turkey and Russia in the field of energy policy. Turkey has historically been highly dependent on energy imports, especially on the natural gas import from Russia. The paper evaluates the two most significant ongoing Turkish−Russian energy projects (TurkStream natural gas pipeline and Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant). Thus, it concludes that these projects will not be real game changers: they will neither significantly transform the relationship of Turkey and Russia nor will they effect the Western strategic orientation of Ankara.
