/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The North-South project is real and urgent. Ancient
Roman leaders built roads first of all. Presently, communications
are of huge importance.
If Armenia is slow the project may go through Azerbaijan. Do not
forget about synchronized energy systems of Russia, Azerbaijan and
Iran," Habet Madoyan, expert of Mitq analytical center, said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.
"The North-South will offer Armenia lots of advantages. Firstly,
it will become a transit country between Russia (Europe) and the
developing Asian market. Operating its natural resources, Iran deposits
in other branches of economy, thus creating demand for high technology
products which can be obtained from Europe only, that is to say, via
Armenia. Secondly, the project will provide entry of Armenian goods
to Asia and Europe. Rail communication between Armenia and Iran is
possible through Karabakh. It will be cheaper. Moreover, Armenia will
have a trump in the Karabakh issue, since the project shareholders
will be interested in Armenia's presence on the territories though
which the route will go," he said.
