BAKU-TBILISI-CEYHAN PIPELINE: GEOPOLITICAL AND GEOECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS IN CENTRAL ASIA AND CAUCASUS
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2006, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
It was May, 25th, 2005, when a crucial event for the begining of the 21st century occured in Baku: the opening of the gigantic American pipeline, Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, whose political construction begun more than ten years before. The great event - with even greater implications geopolically speaking - passed almost silently within mass media. The reason is that the building and opening of this pipeline was not meant to be conected with the US military presence within the Central Asia and Caucasus, once under the USSR influence.
