Abstract
The paper examines the role of the Republic of Turkey as a transit corridor for the natural gas supply to the European Union. Turkey's interests in increasing its transit potential based on its favorable geographic location near gas producers and consumers are studied. The results achieved in this direction of the energy policy of the Republic of Turkey are brought out. The limitations for the increase of the volume of gas transit through the territory of Turkey are examined. The documents of the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Turkey, the ongoing projects on the transit of pipeline gas through the Turkish territory are analyzed. It is shown that Turkey's interest in the expansion of the geography of gas imports and transit coincides with the interests of the European Union as a gas consumer as well as with the interest of gas suppliers in full (in the case of Azerbaijan) or partially (in the case of Russia) to transit gas through Turkey. Turkey's role as a transit gas corridor is limited by small volumes of gas in comparison with the other directions of supply and an increase in the share of LNG in the European gas market.
