| Abstract | The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline project is primary importance for Georgia, both from economic and political standpoints. From the very beginning, when the question of building the BTC pipeline was raised, Georgia had numerous obstacles to overcome of both a domestic and international nature. These included the weakness of the state, corruption, and Russia’s policy towards Georgia. Additional problems may be anticipated in the future too. However, the “Rose Revolution” that took place on 22-23 November 2003, gave rise to new challenges and opportunities for the country’s successful development. 1 Against this background, the implementation of various investment projects, including that of the BTC oil pipeline, is expected to open new avenues for Georgia. This essay analyzes the current status of key economic, social and political problems associated with the construction and operation of the BTC pipeline on Georgian territory. |
