I found it interesting to read how the Wikipedia page describes the project, on what it focuses attention, and how it refers (very briefly) to Human Rights and environmental issues. They talk about the seismic concern and briefly mention the Baku Ceyhan Campaign. Aside from that, for what the page describes, the project is running smoothly.
Other interesting links I found were:
- webpage of the European Bank with links to the EIA documents (some examples of the "Transparency" and publication of information) https://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/projects/esia/baku-tbilisi-ceyhan-(btc)-pipeline.html
-a short review in the webpage of BP Azerbaijan describing the project as highly beneficial and also running smoothly: https://www.bp.com/en_az/azerbaijan/home/who-we-are/operationsprojects/pipelines/btc.html
Most of the press basically supports the idea that the pipeline tends to be presented as an example of CSR and good corporate practice by financiers and corporations.
-webpages about the campaign and the activist opposition are from 2012 and older. I was not able to find in a quick search for any current issue. Older webpages mentioned that the company did not fulfil many of its agreements and that there are human rights concerns with its construction: https://www.theguardian.com/observer/business/ethics/story/0,12651,851000,00.html
It is nonetheless apparently watched by NGOs that pay attention to these kinds of projects, but no doubt that it has lost relevance as a controversy, and that conflicts (if any significant) remain in the local scene: https://www.eca-watch.org/dodgy-deals/baku-t%E2%80%99bilisi-ceyhan-oil-pipeline-btc-pipeline
