British ambassador warns of threat to vital pipelines
Certain domestic forces opposed to democratic development in Azerbaijan may
jeopardize the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE)
pipelines any time, the British Ambassador to Azerbaijan Laurie Bristow told
ANS TV channel.
As for the security of the BTC pipeline, Bristow said that co-operation
between Azerbaijan and NATO in this area is possible. At the same time, the
ambassador, mentioning the successful involvement of the Azerbaijani army in
international anti-terror operations, said that Azerbaijan may ensure the
pipeline's security using its own forces.
Last week Deputy Prime Minister Abid Sharifov said that Azerbaijan's vital
pipelines have come under a terror threat from Armenia.
