"--- The U.S. and European countries assert that the pipelines will give Russia excessive influence over Europe's energy market, as well as over the Turkmen and Kazakh economies. So the U.S. and the EU are seeking to undermine Gazprom by promoting a competing set of natural gas pipelines into Europe, also starting in Turkmenistan. One proposed pipeline would cross the Caspian Sea, carrying Turkmen and Kazakh natural gas through Azerbaijan and Georgia, and on to Turkey. From there the natural gas would be picked up by another proposed new pipeline called Nabucco, which would supply Europe. But the West joined the competition relatively late. ---"
