The case of the Blue Stream Project well illustrates the interplay between energy, regional problems and potential solutions that often generate new disputes. Basically, the Blue Stream Project envisages the transportation of Russian natural gas to Turkey in the context of bilateral agreements in December 1997. According to this plan, 16 billion cubic meters of additional Russian gas would go to Turkey via a pipeline under the Black Sea. The project has faced problems from the start, ranging from technical challenges to political issues, from geopolitical concerns to corruption charges. The article analyzes the discussions over the Blue Stream Project within the context of both Turkish politics and regional energy-oriented relations
