Abstract:	This paper aims to examine the role of Turkey in the European energy market in the context of European Energy Security 1. In the paper we will attempt to answer two main questions: 1. What will the future role of Turkey be in the global energy market? As is usually argued, can Turkey play a leading role as an energy hub or an energy corridor/ transit land in the European Union’s energy security? Can Turkey satisfy expectations of the EU for its energy security in the future? Is Turkey irreplaceable as a transit land, through which natural gas and oil from Russia, the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia, are brought to the global energy markets? Who are other political and economic competitors in the region? 2. It has been tirelessly argued by Turkish politicians and experts that the new role of Turkey in the energy markets would help it become a full member of the EU. Is this a realistic view or wishful thinking?
