AZERBAYCAN-TÜRKMENİSTAN ENERJİ İŞBİRLİĞİNİN HAZAR ENERJİ GÜVENLİĞİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

Soğuk Savaş döneminin sona ermesiyle birlikte Hazar enerji kaynaklarının çıkarılması ve taşınması konusunda küresel bir rekabet başladı. Bu çalışmada iki enerji zengini ülke olan Azerbaycan ve Türkmenistan’ın iş birliğinin sadece bu ülkelerin uluslararası alanda etkilerini arttırmakla kalmayıp, enerji güvenliğine de katkıda bulunacağı argümanından hareket edilmektedir. Türkmenistan’ın Berdimuhammedov dönemiyle birlikte izlediği aktif dış politika enerji projelerinde etkisini arttırmıştır. Azerbaycan ise Dağlık Karabağ çatışmasında topraklarını işgalden başarılı bir askeri operasyonla kurtarmış ve enerji projelerine daha fazla odaklanma imkânı bulmuştur. Bu makalede Azerbaycan ve Türkmenistan iş birliği bu ülkelerin dış politikalarındaki gelişmeler ve bölgesel güvenlik çerçevesinde analiz edilecektir.

THE IMPACT OF AZERBAIJAN-TURKMENISTAN ENERGY COOPERATION ON THE CASPIAN ENERGY SECURITY

Öz

With the end of the Cold War, a global competition began for the exploration, extraction and transportation of the Caspian energy resources. It is suggested that the cooperation of the two energ-rich countries, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, will not only increase the influence of these countries in the international arena, but also contribute to the energy security. Turkmenistan’s active foreign policy with Berdimuhamedov increased the impact of Turkmenistan on the energy projects. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, will be able to focus more on energy projects after it liberated its territories from the Armenian occupation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with a successful military operation.
In this article, the cooperation of Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan is analyzed within the framework of the developments in foreign policies of these countries and regional security.
