Abstract :The Eastern Mediterranean is one of the important regions in the international political arena. Considering the unexploited energy resources in the world, the Eastern Mediterranean basin has turned into a polarisation area of regional and global powers in the 21st century. With the polarisation in the basin, countries determine strategies through possible energy policies in the future. In addition, the political developments in the Eastern Mediterranean region and the strategies of Türkiye and Egypt to become energy supply centres constitute the field of investigation of this study. In this manner, it is aimed to make a qualitative comparative analysis of the energy struggle between Egypt and Türkiye. Therefore, seeking new ways out in the Egypt-Türkiye dilemma and determining the possible equations of interest in the future seems to be the most appropriate option to create the optimum benefit with the Win-Win strategy. In this context, it is understood that the Eastern Mediterranean energy struggle has a critical importance in Egypt-Türkiye relations and that the energy dilemma will be resolved through bilateral and multilateral cooperation.
