British Petroleum Company with its huge investments in Azerbaijan's
economy is indirectly hindering effective development of relations of
Armenia and Britain. Naira Zohrabyan, Head of the Armenian Parliament
Commission for European Integration, made such statement during
her meeting with Joseph Gold, British Envoy for the South Caucasus,
Thursday. Naira Zohrabyan said that she hopes for future balanced
policy of the UK in the South Caucasus despite the fact that Britain's
share in total investments in Azerbaijan makes up 50%.
Zohrabyan said that British Delegate to PACE Mike Hancock is directly
funded by Azerbaijan and is actively lobbying for Baku's interests.
Hence, cooperation of Armenia and UK at international structures
cannot be regarded as effective, unfortunately, she said. However,
she hopes that the British Parliament and political forces will be
consistent in revelation of their bribed parliamentarians.
