AZERBAICANI PUBLIC SPLIT INTO TWO
The head of the Azerbaicani State Oil company SOCAR , Revnak
Abdullayev's statement that if Armenia comes up with a natural gas
demand, Azerbaican will certainly meet it has split the Azerbaicani
public down the middle.
This statement has been supported by some and rejected by some others
given the fact that 20% of Azerbaican's lands are under Armenian
occupation.
An increase of 64% in the price of the natural gas by Russia, which
is Armenia's biggest natural gas supplier, has met with great reaction
among Armenians.
They gathered before the Russian embassy in Yerevan and protested at
the increase.
Azerbaican's statement has come right at that moment.
Revnak Abdullayev, the head of Azerbaican's giant natural gas company
SOCAR, said , in an interview to the ANS television, that Azerbaican
could sell natural gas to Armenia if such a demand were to come.
He said that Azerbaican is a humanistic country and is bound to help
out Armenia if a demand in that direction were to come from it.
That happened to be a statement to have split the Azerbaicanis down
the middle.
Many Azerbaicanis are against the cheap sale of natural gas to Armenia
when one fifth of their country is under Armenian occupation.
Azerbaican sells 1000cubic meters of natural gas at 230 dollars to
its neighbour Georgia.
Armenia gets the same amount of natural gas from Russia for 315
dollars.
