Ifri / CIEP event "Turkey, Azerbaijan and the Southern Gas Corridor" May 26 2009
The pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corridor have been extensively discussed inside and outside the EU. After the different high-level summits in April and May, what is the current state of the several pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corridor? In the context of the Southern Gas Corridor, the position of Turkey as a transit country is crucial. Where are the negotiations on a transit regime going? What are the remaining obstacles to finding a solution acceptable to all parties involved? Moreover, Azerbaijan as a potential supplier country is of uppermost importance for all pipeline projects in the Southern Gas Corridor and already makes an important contribution to the security of oil and gas markets. What lessons can be learnt and how is the position of Azerbaijan evolving in the context of current developments in the region?
On Tuesday, May 26th, 2009, from 9 to 12 a.m. The French Institute for International Relations Ifri and the Clingendael International Energy Programme jointly organise an Energy Breakfast Roundtable on these topics, entitled "Turkey, Azerbaijan and the Southern Gas Corridor".
