Abstract

Bu çalışma, enerji alanındaki Rusya-Türkiye-İsrail ilişkilerinde doğal gaz faktörünün rolünü analiz etmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışma, doğal gaz sektöründe, belirtilen ülkeler arasında yapılan anlaşmaları, varolan doğal gaz boru hatları ve doğal gaz alanlarının geliştirilmesi, üretimi ve nakliyesi konuları üzerine hazırlanan uluslararası projeleri ele alıyor. Üç ülkenin enerji politikalarının karşılıklı bağımlılığını göstermek için bu çalışma, Rusya-Türkiye-İsrail "Enerji Üçgeni" ile sonuçlanıyor.
