/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia is going to become a part of the new
Euro-Atlantic energy security concept being elaborated by the U.S. and
EU, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated at a press
conference in Yerevan. In his words the elaboration of the concept
started after the rise in tariffs for Russian gas and problems with
its delivery to Ukraine. "The matter concerns new NPPs, construction
of a Transcaspian gas pipeline. These projects are of big interest
for Armenia," Oskanian noted. For his part EU Envoy for the South
Caucasus Peter Semneby remarked that the EU understands Armenia's
concern in the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline. At the same time noted
