Özet:

In this paper, it is sought to answer this basic question: the potential of Turkey for being a great transit country between East-West and North-South, and what kind of profits and risks this potential has in order to provide the energy security for EU and Turkey. While this paper seeks to this question, it also defends this argument: if Turkey and EU carry out the following policies in the scope of Ukraine-Crisis, Ukraine-Crisis may be a great opportunity for Turkey to become a transit country in the energy sector. It has also been emphasized the opinions and suggestions on how the parties can turn this crisis into an opportunity. EU should have a huge lesson from Ukraine-Crisis and Turkey should turn this crisis into opportunity to provide its energy security. While Turkey-EU cooperation strengthens Turkey`s hand in the process of joining into EU, it will also strengthens the economic cooperation and integration between UE and Turkic Republics. Of course, this process will move the relationship between Republic of Turkey and Turkic Republics to the peak. If Ankara carries out its energy policies in the line with this, it makes Turkey a transit country in the energy sector, by utilizing the Ukraine-Crisis
