If Russia takes over big swats from Georgia or annexes Georgia which is exactly what they desire, then they will yield control over the new railroad from Baku to Turkey and EU and also over the present oil pipeline of BP which is anticipated to reach capacity of 2.5 bb per day and the competing NG pipeline Nabbuco which links Turkmenistan Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan to Europe and exports crude oil and LG to other countries like Korea, Japan etc. There is no other way due to geographic limitation (Iran to the south Russia to the north and very high mountain ridges in Turkey and the problematic Armenians which are at war with Azerbaijan)

In addition there will be no easy access to N. Iraq amd no oversigth over Iran trough Georgia and Azerbaijan - as Turkey is not exactly cooperative in those matters due to their war with the Kurds in S. East Turkey

Hope it helps
