/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The working leadership of Turkey that intends to
open the state border with Armenia affects the interests of independent
Azerbaijan greatly, said head of the center for political innovations
and technologies Mubariz Ahmedoghlu at a press conference Wednesday
"All these years Azerbaijan has been building its external policy
for it to meet Turkey's interests. Baku has not been developing its
relations with Moscow, did not build deep cooperation with Washington,
the priority for us was strategic cooperation with Ankara", said he.
According to him, in this connection Azerbaijan constantly faced
different pressures.
"We have long been not telling the decisive "Yes" to the Nabucco
project, striving for its being fixed clearly on the map for
Azerbaijani and Middle Asian energy sources to be transported to the
West, to Europe via Turkey, bypassing Armenia.
The wider discussions are currently under way around the following
route on which oil and gas from Azerbaijan go to Georgia and from
there by the Black Sea floor to Europe. We always protected Ankara's
interests, attaining the supply of energy sources to the West by the
Turkish territory and for this Turkey bites the hand that feeds it",
noted Ahmedoghlu adding that Azerbaijan always repeatedly refused
mutually profitable proposals, coming from Moscow and Tehran,
