Moldova.ORG — The occidental experts suppose that USSR will be
reunified in the coming future. That is the conclusion of the "Novaia
Vremea" Russian newspaper which writes about the World Economic Forum
experts’ report issued at the end of January in Davoce.

"This may happen if the gas prices suddenly go up to $ 150 for a
barrel. This type of price increase corresponds to the actual world
situation," the report authors say.

"The lack of security in the coming future, the continuous struggle
with the international terrorism, the instability of the world economy,
all these can affect the sudden price raise of the energy resources,"
the report mentions.

According to the experts the possibility of a partial USSR reunion
is real due to the historical and cultural connections of the
ex-soviet countries. They consider the Union is real based on two
main principles.

"First of all, those countries which will need gas during the
gas crisis will unify back with Russia. They will be ready to
risk their countries’ sovereignty just to provide the population
with gas and energy. Uzbekistan, Armenia and Georgia are among
those countries. Besides that, there are a lot of chances for a
Russia-Ukraine union and the creation of a Russia-Belarus alliance
is 100 % real," the Russian newspaper says.

According to the same report, those countries as Kazakhstan,
Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan will be ready to enter the new union
having the goal to firmly establish their positions on the gas market
and to use freely the ways of delivery.

The occidental experts qualify the possibility of a USSR reunion as
"the one of the 15 global risks".
