Azerbaijan and Its Partners Can Guarantee Pipeline Security - Foreign
Ministry
BAKU. Aug 6 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan and its partners in the Baku-
Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline project are taking every step to neutralize
security threats to the pipeline, press secretary of the Azeri Foreign
Ministry Hazar Ibrahim has said.
"We believe that sides to the pipeline project - Azerbaijan, Georgia and
Turkey - are capable of guaranteeing the security of the oil pipeline both
through joint efforts and separately," he said to Interfax.
The spokesman added that in the world today nobody can be 100% guaranteed
against all risks.
Ibrahim said Azerbaijan regards Armenia as a threat to the pipeline.
"The threat is real. If Armenia does not stop at an aggression against a
neighboring state, it is difficult to ignore the threat of that country to
regional projects to which Azerbaijan is party," Ibrahim said.
"On the other hand Azerbaijan and its partners in the pipeline project are
doing their utmost to minimize such risks," he added.
