Georgia has not yet made a decision with regard to the sale of
Russian-Armenian gas pipeline passing through the country.
Armenian National Congress (HAK) representative Vladimir Karapetyan
thinks Azerbaijan will do its best to keep Armenia in blockade; hence,
the country will offer the best price.
The HAK representative suggests that the Armenian government should
mobilize the leaders of economic sphere in order to purchase the
section of the pipeline passing through Georgia.
"I want to recall a recent case when our businessmen raised $ 30
million to buy an airplane. I think that the issue of gas pipeline
is much more important and Armenia will hurry to make a profitable
bid ahead of Azerbaijan," Vladimir Karapetyan told A1+ adding that
the consequences would be disastrous in the opposite case.
Rovnag Abdullayev President of State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic
(SOCAR) has already applied to the owner of the pipeline - National
Gas Company of Georgia - and expressed their interest in participating
in the process, in case of privatization or transfer of the pipeline.
Armenian parliamentarian Vardan Khachatryan is concerned over
Azerbaijani intention to "take control" of Russia-Armenia gas pipeline.
He views Georgia's decision to sell the pipeline as an attempt to
pressurize Armenia.
"The interests of our neighbours coincide in certain issues, especially
in issues concerning Armenia. The issue of the gas pipeline can be
viewed in this context. Inactivity is simply inadmissible given the
tense situation in the region," said Vardan Khachatryan.
