能源合作是土耳其与中亚国家合作的重点,但目前土耳其与中亚国家的能源合作仍处于较低水平。自2022年2月乌克兰危机升级以来,由于欧洲国家的能源进口需求和中亚国家的能源出口需求加大,以及土耳其作为能源枢纽的战略地位增强,土耳其与中亚国家的能源合作迎来了新的契机。然而,双方的能源合作也面临一系列的挑战,诸如目前俄罗斯仍然控制着中亚国家的能源出口,基础设施和处理能力落后导致中亚能源的“潜力”待开发,连接土耳其和中亚的能源管道建设也滞后。土耳其与中亚国家能源合作的强化不仅将影响其他大国与中亚的能源合作,而且有可能减弱俄罗斯在中亚地区的影响力,将使欧亚地区大国博弈更加复杂,并对中亚地区秩序产生一定的冲击。
Energy cooperation is the focus of cooperation between Türkiye and Central Asian countries,but it is still at a low level between Türkiye and Central Asian countries. Since the Ukraine crisis in February 2022,the energy cooperation between Türkiye and Central Asian countries has ushered in new opportunities due to the energy import demand of European countries,the energy export demand of Central Asian countries,and the strengthening of Türkiye’s strategic position as an energy hub. However,the energy cooperation between the two sides also faces a series of challenges,such as Russia still controls the energy exports of Central Asian countries,the energy “potential” of Central Asia due to the backward infrastructure and processing capacity is to be developed,and the construction of energy pipelines connecting Türkiye and Central Asia is lagging behind. The strengthening of energy cooperation between Türkiye and Central Asian countries will not only affect the energy cooperation between other major countries and Central Asia,but also may weaken Russia’s influence in Central Asia. It will also make the game between major countries in Eurasia more complex and have a certain impact on the order of Central Asia.
