Description Recent large-scale natural gas discoveries in East Mediterranean have drawn attention to the region. The discoveries caused both hope and tension in the region. As stated, the new resources may serve as a new hope for all relevant parties as well as the region if managed in a collaborative and conciliatory way. Energy may be a remedy to Cyprus’ financial predicament, initiate a process for resolving differences between Turkey and Cyprus, normalize Israel-Turkey relations and so on. On the contrary, adopting unilateral and uncooperative approach may aggravate the tension and undermine regional stability and security. In this sense, the role of energy in generating hope or tension is dependent on the approaches of related parties. The article will analyze Turkey’s attitude in East Mediterranean case in terms of possible negative and positive implications for Turkey in the energy field. The article examines Turkey’s position and the reasons behind its stance in the East Mediterranean case. Considering Turkey’s energy profile and energy policy goals, the article argues that the newly found hydrocarbons may bring in more stakes for Turkey if Turkey adopts a cooperative approach in this case.
 
Subject East Mediterranean hydrocarbons; Turkey-Israel-Cyprus; Energy policies; Energy and cooperation; Turkey’s stance in East Mediterranean.
