/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Since 1990-ies I have reiterated that the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline is a mere political project with
no economic dividends. Now, when it’s built and put into operation,
it has become an economic project, Director of the Caucasus Media
Institute (CMI), political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan stated in
an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. In his words, in the worldwide scope
it will yield no effect but Azerbaijan will derive benefit from it.
“By the way, all the oil states except Norway are similar: I have a
pipe and you should share the income. To keep the “guards” of the pipe
becomes the main task. Such states have many internal enemies. As for
the BTC future, it can seriously change is Kazakhstan doesn’t join it,”
the CMI Director said.
