Özet:

Energy security is one of the most important issues in international relations studies. In the literature, it is elaborated from the point of view of the consumer countries. However, energy security can be enhanced through providing safety of the three groups of countries-consumer, supplier and transit countries. In this study, energy security is to be assessed by considering the special conditions of the transit countries, which is touched upon in many articles however not studied. Here, first of all, threats against energy security of consumer, supplier and then transit countries in general will be looked into. Differences and similarities between security concerns of transit countries and other two groups of states are to be shown. The issue is scrutinized through examination of energy security concerns of Turkey.
