THE BAKU-TBILISI-CEYHAN OIL PIPELINE WITH REGARD TO THE RUSSIAN-GEORGIAN RELATIONS
GHIA NODIA, July 12, 2006
Political Scientist, Director of the Caucasian Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development, Tbilisi, Georgia
I believe that Georgia is not very enthusiastic about putting the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline into operation. On the whole, the Georgians’ attitude to this event is quite passive.
This project is of importance to Georgia in terms of politics rather than economy. $64 million that can be made out of the oil pipeline is not significant for the country’s economy.
What’s more important is the fact that this project has drawn the U.S particular attention to Georgia and helped to the country in acquiring the status of a transit state. This makes possible to attract considerable investments.
This is the direction the new government is working on now, stressing the transit projects, and above all, the development of the transport infrastructure. In particular, the authorities are extremely interested in the road network enlargement.
However, now the first and foremost transit project planned is the construction of the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline that would link Central Asia and the European Union avoiding Russia.
The main objective of all transit projects is stimulating the flow of the foreign investments to the Georgian economy. And this sphere has seen positive changes. But I would not speak about significant and tangible successes. The hope for receiving sufficient foreign investments still remains a hope.
Putting the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline into operation is unlikely to aggravate relations between Georgia and Russia. The degree of competition on this issue reached its highest on the moment of the project envisagement, that is under Eduard Shevardnadze. Therefore, in a way, putting the oil pipeline into operation cannot be considered as solely the current President’s accomplishment.
All in all, Russia has to take it for granted. What is more, in terms of economy, the oil pipeline poorly compensates the losses that the Georgian economy may suffer due to the ban on the number of goods exported from Georgia to Russia.
Those losses will be compensated in case of the successful realization of the projects on building the two gas pipelines. To a smaller extent this issue may be handled through the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzerum gas pipeline. After its putting into operation Georgia’s dependence on the Russian gas will lessen but it will still remain.
The Trans-Сaspian gas pipeline (if it is to be actually built) will be much more efficient. The implementation of the project will visibly change the relations between Russia and Georgia. The direct consequence of the gas pipeline’s putting into operation would be Georgia’s tangible lowering of the energy dependence on Russia.

REAL REASON FOR GEORGIA WAR: Immediately after US losing control of Central Asian Gas and Oil, BP run BTC pipeline is blown up & war provoked in Georgia!
Posted by morris108 on August 16, 2008
The BP run BTC pipeline is the only valuable item in Georgia, the only thing to fight over, and just 2 weeks ago, the promise of it being filled with Kazakh oil disappeared. And it disappeared into Russia’s hands. Within a week the pipeline was blown up, and the Georgian offensive started.
This Post shows the evidence to support that.
Perusing the news and Poland agreeing to the US missile shield all suggests Russia is the new bogeyman.It is difficult to understand where it can lead to?
The motivation is from losing control of Caspian oil and Gas.
It would seem a terminal strategy. It is born of desperation from people who have blundered every action possible for the last 8 years.
Can we expect the US to start with sanctions? Well there isn’t much chance, Russia has all the Gas and Oil.
So it came as a body blow to Washington that Nazarbayev said in Astana after talks with Putin last Thursday, “Kazakhstan is absolutely committed to shipping most of its oil, if not all of it, through Russian territory. We have always said this.” [...]
What does it imply? Question marks resurface over the long-term economic viability of the much-acclaimed [BTC] Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline built with US support, which had counted on Kazakh oil supplies in substantial quantities

Do you now write the history books of the past, who is there to say that this is all twisted to suit the twisted agenda. In any case, where have all the khazarians gone to, is it not true to say that they cut n run and their homeland was occupied by others. Is it not true to say that they were feeling very embarrassed to say they were khazars living in exile.
Oil is a funny commodity, it makes people slip and slide !!!
