/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `From the economic viewpoint the
Kars-Akhalkalaki-Tbilisi-Baku cannot cause harm to Armenia, as we
already incur losses due to the blocked Armenian-Turkish border,’ RA
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference in Yerevan. In
his words, the project creates unfavorable political atmosphere in the
region and this fact is much more regrettable. `Armenia’s position is
unchangeable. We are against this project,’ Oskanian said.

`As to Kazakhstan’s participation in the project, this state did not
display much optimism about the project last year. However, the
attitude might have changed. I’m not aware,’ the Minister said. The
project initiators may have financial problems if they want Kazakhstan
to join them, he added.
