Leaders salute Caspian pipeline |
| Home | (BBC) - A 1,768-km (1,100-mile) pipeline carrying oil from the Caspian Sea to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan is set to be formally opened. The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline links Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Oil is then shipped to western markets. The US-backed project was conceived 10 years ago to diversify the West's oil supplies and bypass Russia. |
