In the camp of the losers from the construction of “Turkish stream” will not only Ukraine

В стане проигравших от строительства "Турецкого потока" будут не только Украина

With the construction of the gas pipeline “Turkish stream” will no longer be necessary in the construction of the “South stream”, which at the time counted Bulgaria. Also the new gas pipeline virtually eliminates the status as the largest Transporter of gas to Ukraine, Moldova and Romania, informs the Forbes.

This means that these countries will be much less to obtain cash for the transit of gas through its territory. However, profitable market in the long term to lose and South of the oil — producing countries-Iran, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.

Russia and Turkey again became business partners after rapid cooling of relations, related to the incident with the Russian bombers in Syria, which killed a Russian pilot and a marine. Not so long ago, Moscow and Ankara signed an intergovernmental agreement on the construction of the pipeline “Turkish stream”, on which negotiations had long been stuck before in Syria. Now, many controversial issues have been resolved: “Gazprom” for the money to build the offshore part of the “pipe, Turkey — land on its territory, and in case if it is implemented the second string of the gas pipeline on which gas will go to Europe, it will be created joint Russian-Turkish company.

Meanwhile, as Forbes notes, this project may hurt from a financial point of view to hit a number of countries, most of which are today actively oppose the construction of a new Russian gas pipelines to Europe, including the “Turkish stream” and especially the “Nord stream-2”. However, their financial losses, they say in the last and the more use such theses as “energy expansion of Russia”, “energy security of Europe”, etc.

According to the author of the article is not very clear how beneficial effect on economic indicators “Gazprom” his participation in the project “Turkish stream”, but for Ankara the new pipeline is beneficial because Turkey will directly receive Russian gas in the future could become a major gas hub, through which will pass large volumes of gas to European countries.

Most of the construction of “Turkish stream”, Ukraine will suffer through the territory of which today are enormous volumes to consumers of Turkey and Bulgaria. For the latter, the construction of “Turkish stream” will put a fat cross on the construction of “South stream”, which from time to time, Bulgaria is trying to “restart”. Kiev received the money for transit from the TRANS-Balkan branch: Russian gas was transported to Turkey through Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria. As a result, all these countries to lose rather impressive funds in their budgets for the transit of “blue fuel”.

The article also States that initially the “Turkish stream” was created to deliver Russian hydrocarbons to southern Europe, bypassing Ukraine with the total capacity of the pipeline, the original plan was to reach 63 billion cubic meters, which would divide into four parallel branches. However, today the situation is different: more likely to be built not more than two branches — according to experts, is currently the region does not need as much gas as could be pumped in four threads. However, even in its truncated form the “Turkish stream” carries huge financial losses for the previous “Transporter” of Russian gas — even if you don’t build “Nord stream-2”, which seems to finally close the topic of Ukraine, with its status as the largest Transporter of energy to Europe.

Iran also loses from the construction of “Turkish stream”. Can suffer and other southern suppliers of “blue fuel”, as the newspaper notes, Russia will try through the second branch pipeline to provide a certain excess in supply. And there is a certain sense for Russia to prevent in the future, the possible increase of gas supplies from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iran, concludes Forbes.
