Nabucco "All regional projects, especially economic ones should
involve all countries of the region and not exclude anyone."

Armenian FM Edward Nalbandian speaking in Berlin accused Turkey of
creating obstances to the process of the regulation of bilateral
relations and spoke positively about the Nabucco gas pipeline.

He spoke before the audience of the German Foreign Policy Council
after negotiations with German FM Guido Westerwelle and other German
officials on March 15.

The minister spoke positively about the EU program of Eastern
Partnership involving Armenia. In his interview with Deutsche Welle
he did not rule out participation of his country in the Nabucco
gas pipeline.

"We consider", he said "that all regional projects, especially
economic ones should involve all countries of the region and not
exclude anyone". As for whether Armenia would want to be one of the
transit countries for such a gas pipeline, Edward Nalbandian said
his country is ready to partake in the projects connected with the
energy resources. He considers that such projects should be realistic,
economically efficient, meet the interests of the region, and not
be politicized.

Answering about the question regarding Armenia’s position in the
Russian-Georgian conflict, the minister said they have the relations
of strategic allies with Russia and good neighbors with Georgia. "This
is why we have definite obligations both as a strategic ally of Russia
and a good neighbor of Georgia. And along with Georgia, we are the
country that is interested in stability and security of Georgia more
than others in the region and the world. This is why Armenia plays
a role of a moderator in the relations between Russia and Georgia".
