Tbilisi (GBC) - Azerbaijan flatly ruled out Armenia's participation
in the Nabucco project, Azerbaijan Prime Minister, Artur Rasizade,
said at a news conference December 4 held after the meeting of the
joint Economic Commission of Georgia and Azerbaijan.
"Armenia will not be able to take part in any of Azerbaijan's projects,
including Nabucco, until the country gives back occupied Azerbaijani
territory," Rasizade said.
Rasizade made the above comment following Russian media reports that
the Russian party offered Azerbaijan the option to replace Georgia
as partner with Armenia.
The Nabucco pipeline is a planned natural gas pipeline that will
transport natural gas from Turkey to Austria. The project will cost
USD 12.4b. Construction is slated to start in 2010.
