Abstract
In January 2006 Europe entered into a state of shock by the unexpected shortage of natural gas

that had been caused by the Russian-Ukrainian gas dispute. The gas pipeline crossing Ukraine

provides the EU market with Russian natural gas, and this shutdown resulted in a significant

disturbance for many of the EU members. In the new world order, interruption of energy

supplies could threaten the national security of a country to the same magnitude as military

actions. With EU depending on Russia, Norway and Algeria for more than half of its imported

natural gas consumption, this threat could be more tangibly sensed.

However, in the wake of this crisis, EU members became sensitized to the matter of

sustainability and security of monopolized gas supply and the consequent geopolitical

vulnerability. The Russian-Ukrainian crisis brings energy security to the forefront of the EU

agenda and made European policy makers contemplate about new pipeline routes and LNG

technology in order to diversify their supply resources. Therefore, the attentions turned to

Central Asia and Middle East as an abundant source of natural gas and Nabucco pipeline as a

potential route to contribute to the diversification of natural gas supplies to the EU and

enhancing the European energy security.
