Armenia neutral on Georgia's gas pipeline privatisation issues
By Messenger Staff Friday, July 16
Armenia does not care if the pipeline connecting Russia with Armenia
passing through Georgia is privatised and sold. Georgia wanting to
sell the pipeline does not mean that it will actually be sold and it
will have no impact in Armenia in any case, stated Armenia's Energy
and Natural Resources Minister Armen Movsisian at a July 14 press
conference.
Three non-Georgian companies, Russia's Gazprom, Kazakhstan's
KazMunaiGas and Azerbaijan's SOCAR have already expressed interest in
the pipeline. The ruling party's interest in selling this pipeline has
become the subject of serious concern and criticism from the
opposition, NGOs and independent analysts.
