Turkey-Azerbaijan pipeline offers alternative for Russian gas - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East

Turkey-Azerbaijan pipeline offers alternative for Russian gas - Al-Monitor: the Pulse of the Middle East:



"Russia-Ukraine tension is being monitored particularly closely by Europe because of the continent’s dependence on Russian natural gas and Ukraine’s signing of a partnership agreement with the European Union.



Russia’s west Europe natural gas pipeline passes through Ukraine. Experience shows that at times of high tension, service through the pipeline can be disrupted, so developing an alternative to Russian natural gas is of vital importance for Europe.



Alternative natural gas resources are also important for the United States, as natural gas, in addition to being a commercial commodity, has also emerged as an effective instrument of political gamesmanship.
