/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The European Union would prefer to be in transit
dependence on Armenia rather than on Turkey, which has already
opposed joining of Gaz de France to Nabucco, motivating its decision
by France’s stance on the Armenian Genocide and Sarkozy’s position
on Turkey’s full membership in the EU," Habet Madoyan, expert of Mitq
analytical center, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"As result, Gaz de France will be an associated member. Thus,
wishing to avoid energy dependence on Russia, the EU risks to fall
into dependence on Turkey, which runs the Blue Fuel. Any alternative
gas pipeline through Armenia will involve the republic in regional
projects. Nabucco construction is supposed to kick off in 2009 and
something can be changed still," he said.
