Abstract
After USSR breakdown, the Caspian countries, primarily Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, focused much attention on the hydrocarbon transportation to Iran. And plenty of projects on the construction of pipelines across the Iranian territory were developed. But due to complications in the relations between Iran and Western countries, only a few of them was implemented. As a result, Iran’s participation in resolving the issues of Caspian hydrocarbon transportation was rather limited. Nevertheless, the most advantageous geographical location of Iran still draws to this country great attention on the part of the Caspian countries.
