Azerbaijan has given some proposals to NATO on security of the
main pipelines and energy infrastructure, NATO experts told APA's
correspondent at the headquarters last week.
Azerbaijan's proposals are connected with the physical security of
pipelines (oil and gas). Azerbaijan asked technological assistance from
NATO referring to the potential threats to the energy infrastructure in
the Caspian Sea, and the territories of Georgia and Turkey, through
which the pipelines pass.
"NATO has no concrete plans on the physical security of energy
infrastructure in the partner countries. The proposals on priority
directions in ensuring energy security of the Alliance members can
be considered and estimated" - NATO experts underlined.
Analyzing the potential threats to the energy infrastructure in the
Caspian basin-South Caucasus region, NATO experts said that the
states located in this region and participating in the projects,
are capable of fighting against these threats. But the forecasts on
the usage of energy as the main weapon in the fight among the states
in the near future don't rule out the appearance of serious threats
in the above-mentioned direction.
To recall, in October Head of the Operative Unit, the Armenian Armed
Forces General Staff, Major General Artak Davtyan told media that
the Armenian army is able to hit military and economic, including
oil and gas facilities of probable enemy.
He said the Armenian Armed Forces are able to make surgical military
strikes against the important facilities of the enemy in a distance
of 300km and more.
