/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Nabucco project can be realized at the expense of
Iranian gas. Talks promise success.
Once, Iran wanted to export gas via Armenia but Russia did not allow
Armenia to become a transit country. Now Turkey is aspired to occupy
our place. At that time Russia feared to lose control over gas export
from East to West. Now, it has nothing to lose, since the pipe will
stretch through unfriendly countries. Russia can change its stance
and speak of the Iran-Armenia as an alternative to Nabucco," Habet
Madoyan, expert of Mitk analytical center, said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.
"In case Nabucco is put into operation we will not have much to
expect. Two gas pipelines for the same source will be unreal and
unprofitable. Nabucco will deprive Armenia of the last chance to
participate in regional energy projects," he said.
