/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If U.S. and Russia strike a deal on Iran, Ankara
and Baku will lose their significance for the West.

The matter concerns a serious bargain between Washington and Moscow
envisaging direct partnership to undermine the Ahmadinejad regime,
RTR Vesti reports.

It’s not hard to guess which countries will maximally reap the benefit
of such bargain and which will lose.

Israel, which actually elected Likuda, and Romania, a transit country
for Iranian gas in Nabucco initial draft, will certainly be in the
first group.

The second group will include Azerbaijan and Turkey as presumed
transit countries. Georgia is not counted, since Nabucco also supposes
Iran-Armenia-Georgia transit as an alternative to the Turkish one.

The other countries which will lose from Israel and Romania’s
strengthening are Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Bulgaria, Ukraine and
Moldova.
