Abstract (2. Language): 
With the globalization in the world, the role of the transportation sector has improved gradually within the economical and commercial lives of the countries. Transportation has become one of the key success factors for international competition. The countries which do not strengthen their transportation infrastructures cannot be successful regarding other areas. The Turkish States are rich in terms of natural resources, energy and agricultural products. Thus, they draw attention of the developed countries and especially of the European Union (EU). Because this is a region in which cheap energy and raw materials are being produced and is a new market that produced goods are marketed for the EU. The EU's demand to improve its commercial relations with the region brought up the transportation problem because of the geographical distance. TRACECA aims at developing a transportation corridor from Europe, on a west-east axis, through the Black Sea, over Caucasia and the Caspian Sea to Central Asia. With this project, it will be possible for the Central Asian Turkish Republics to improve their low-level foreign trade and also to develop their trade routes to Turkey, European markets and China. On the completion of the Project, it is expected that the TRACECA countries will have an easier access to European and world markets, the regional cooperation between the member countries will improve and integration to the Trans-European Transportation Network will be realized. The study primarily introduced the importance of transportation for the region, the development of the TRACECA Project that was developed within this context. Also in this study, information on the objectives of the Project and the investment and technical aid projects that have been developed within this scope is given. The effects of the Project on the commercial and economical development of Caucasia and Central Asia region are discussed.
