Selling the Armenia-Russia pipeline to Azerbaijan would mean putting
Armenia's political and energy security at risk, Heritage MP Stepan
Safaryan told Tert.am asked to comment about the possible deal between
Georgia and Azerbaijan that might see Azerbaijan's State Oil Company
(SOCAR) buy it.
Mr Safaryan mentioned that it is already three weeks since that news
was circulated. But at the same time he wondered what the Armenian
authorities have done to demand clarifications from the Georgian
authorities over the issue and to take pre-emptive steps to make that
deal fail.
Asked whether it was possible that Armenia might buy the pipeline, Mr
Safaryan said: "I think it is not a problem for Armenia's oligarchic
sector to buy it."
Further he said Armenia's authorities had better try and fail that
deal and secure Armenia's security.
Turkish Hurriyet daily reported on Monday that the pipeline might by
99 per cent be bought by Azerbaijan' State Oil Company SOCAR.
