/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Baku has always viewed the energy
and communication sources as an extra political tool
for gaining maximal political concessions from its
economic companions, chairman of Mitq analytical
center, historian Eduard Abrahamyan said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

`It specifically refers to the Karabakh issue and
Azerbaijan’s influence in the region. Nevertheless,
many European states eye Azerbaijan as a country which
supplies energy sources bypassing Russia and often
satisfy its whims despite obvious unwillingness to do
so. Presently, Azerbaijan is by all means trying to
gain maximal benefits from Nabucco project which will
offer a possibility to leave Armenia behind,’ he said.
