`NABUCO PROJECT CAN NOT BE LAUNCHED WITHOUT IRAN’

`Nabuco’ gas pipe line increases the number of transit countries and
it is impossible to implement it without the direct participation of
Iran, announced the Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin.

`Regarding other ways, well, I am not against it, but `Nabuco’ does
not cut the number of transit countries, quite the opposite ` it
increases this number ` Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia. But, still it is
not enough as the project can not be launched without the
participation of Iran,’ said Mr. Putin.
