Peter Rutland, Professor at Wesleyan University, has stated that the
failure of attempts by Armenian and Turkish diplomacy to reestablish
relations between the two countries and open their borders will help
the NABUCCO gas pipeline project. There are still many obstacles to
overcome, including the continuing financial crisis in Greece and
other issues, but the lack of agreement between Turkey and Armenia
makes establishing this pipeline easier.
EU Energy Commissioner Rottinger said on March 25 this year that
NABUCCO would begin functioning in 2018, not 2014 as previously
projected.
