This intervention outlines the relevance and potential of the Energy Charter Treaty for the South Caucasus; for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The Energy Charter is an example of a means of energy cooperation that has already existed in the South Caucasus for over 20 years. It discusses the problems that may arise in the South Caucasus, of what fault lines may develop among different economic spheres. In that context the author also discusses the new International Energy Charter, a new political declaration based on the principles of the Energy Charter Treaty as a good example of regional and international cooperation.
