The idea of the southern corridor emerged during the first phase of the Caspian energy development, and has been changed several times following political and economic decisions. The main proponents of the regional transportation project were U.S. government and Turkey. The key concept behind the corridor was construction of a new transportations system from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, connecting with the new pipelines in Azerbaijan through the pipelines passing Caspian seabed and going in the western direction (Pflüger, 2012).
