The announcement of the termination of South Stream project and the introduction of the Turkish Stream project by Russia was an unexpected move. A reasonable question we should ask if Turkey, and also Russia, behave as a prudent merchant and correctly calculate their negotiation powers when negotiating the Turkish Stream project. An analytical framework that outlines the stakes of the parties from the project would enable us to evaluate the negotiation powers of the parties. As such a framework depicts, Turkey had greater negotiation power than Russia if it had offered terms in which the gas hub is created in Turkey. However, Turkey downplays its power into a price negotiation while it could gain further ground in its ambition to become a regional gas hub.

Visegrad group facing the Nord Stream and South Stream gas pipeline projects Şenterzi, Zahide Tuğba; Türkeş, Mustafa; Department of International Relations (2012) This thesis analyzes the Visegrad Group’s stance toward the Russian-German Nord Stream and Russian-Italian South Stream gas pipeline projects, which aimed to circumvent the traditional energy routes situated in Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The level of the Visegrad Group’s dependency on inherited Soviet gas pipeline routes is examined alongside the Visegrad Group’s policy setting ability within the group itself and in the European Union. The thesis also traces the evolution of energy relations between...

Turkism versus Azerbaijanism as the two competing ideologies have left their mark on this process. Language has been used as a political tool for pr...
Assessment of the effect of hydroelectric power plants' governor settings on low frequency inter area oscillations Gençoğlu, Cihangir; Güven, Ali Nezih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The Turkish TSO (TEIAS) has been leading a project that aims the synchronous interconnected operation of the Turkish Power System and the ENTSO-E CESA (former UCTE) System. For this purpose, this study concentrates on the specific problems related to the electromechanical systems of large size hydroelectric power plants regarding low frequency inter area oscillations, which are prone to occur once the interconnected operation is established. The expected frequency of inter area oscillations after interconne...
