/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nabucco project or the South Steam agreement
signed between Russia and Turkey does not in any way influence
regional situation, "Heritage" faction MP Stepan Safaryan told a
news conference in Yerevan. Last year, Russia negatively reacted to
all project circumventing its interests and did its best to prevent
their implementation. The only exception was Nabucco, he said.
Nabucco agreement, according to Safaryan, seriously affected Russia's
interests in Caucasus, hence the country's primary task was to start
the second stage of Russian-Georgian war or provoke a new conflict
related to Karabakh in order to block project implementation process.
Touching upon Russian premier Vladimir Putin's recent statement
on Nabucco's being a competitive project for Moscow, Armenian
parliamentarian found it strange and proposed that Russia finally
put up with competition in Caucasus.
Commenting upon official Baku's statement that Azerbaijan will
coerce Armenia into peace, Safaryan said, "Such statement is a kind
of probing to which Armenia should not react."
