Mr.Ghazali further writes,“The pipeline will pump Caspian oil from the Bulgarian port of Burgas via Macedonia to the Albanian port of Vlora, for transport to European countries and the United States. Specifically, the 1.1 billion dollar AMBO pipeline will permit oil companies operating in the Caspian Sea to ship their European market by eliminating tanker traffic through the ecologically sensitive waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas.”

If we look at above scenarios, it seems in this international chess game the player countries are making moves to further their geo-political and economic goals. This situation is no different than many other situations around the globe. However in other places similar situations are dubbed as “clash of civilization”, acts of “religious fundamentalism” or simply that people “hate western way of life”.
