/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict are linked to implementation of the Nabucco
project, told a political scientist Suren Zolian a news conference in
Yerevan. "Closed borders between Armenia and Azerbaijan and Armenia
and Turkey are a problem hindering realization of that program. Today
the West has tired from the unstable Georgia, hence western countries
carry out serious talks on Armenia’s possible participation in the
project. Armenia can play a sound role in the fulfillment of Nabucco,"
said Suren Zolian.

According to Armenian political scientist, Yerevan with Tbilisi
can also elaborate a joint safety strategy in opposition to the
Turkish-Azeri alliance.

The project of the Nabucco gas pipeline was officially presented in
Sophia this March. The project is aimed at reducing dependency of the
European Union of Russian gas supply. Construction of the pipeline was
discussed in the fringes of the Eastern partnership Summit in Prague.
