CEYLAN, Turkey - The 1,100 mile pipeline which is anticipated to carry Caspian crude oil from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey is in it's final stages. The project, which cost $2.9 billion, is almost finished and is deemed to bring relief to the West's dependance on Middle Eastern crude oil.The pipeline, which will carry oil from the Azeri fields, joins Turkey at Baku.
