Evaluation of Tanap Agreements in Terms of International Law and Expropriation Law
Öz
Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP) is a
project, between Azerbaijan and Turkey, on the World’s front
burner realized in order to transport the natural gas produced
from the Şahdeniz 2 field to Europe through Turkish territory.
Legal details of TANAP are included in the Intergovernmental
Agreement (IA) between two states and in the Hosting Government Agreement (HGA) signed between Turkey and TANAP
Project Company. Having looked at the aforesaid agreements,
IA is mainly considered as an outline agreement, on the other
hand, HGA is considered as a private law contract including
more detailed provisions. TANAP Agreements, having the characteristics of a bilateral investment agreement, include provisions mostly protecting the interests of the investor, namely
Azerbaijan. Considering either participating interests of parties
in the project, or that the source country is Azeri land, it should
be admitted that the situation is natural and legal.
