Yet,\u00a0Turkey has enjoyed an enhanced bilateral relationship with Russia, augmenting its position and\u00a0relevance in a strategic energy relationship with the EU. The relationship between Ankara and Moscow\u00a0is principally based on energy security and domestic business interests, and has largely remained stable\u00a0in times of regional turmoil. This paper analyses the dynamics of Ankara-Moscow cooperation in order\u00a0to understand which of the three scenarios in EU\u2013Turkey relations \u2013 conflict, cooperation or\u00a0convergence \u2013 could be expected to develop bearing in mind that the partnership between Turkey and\u00a0Russia has become unpredictable. The intimacy of Turkish-Russia energy relations and EU-Russian\u00a0regional antagonism makes transactional cooperation on energy demand the most likely of future\u00a0scenarios. A scenario in which both Brussels and Ankara will try to coordinate their relations with\u00a0Russia through a positive agenda, in order to exploit the interdependence emerging within the\u00a0\u201ctriangle\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Read the paper <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/D5.3_Online_Paper.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Turkey-Russia-EU energy triangle is a relationship of interdependence and strategic compromise.\u00a0However, Russian support for secessionism and erosion of state autonomy in the Caucasus and Eurasia\u00a0has proven difficult to reconcile for western European states despite their energy dependence.
