“Classes” in the program Doctor of political sciences, professor, energy security specialist Vahe Davtyanspoke about the gas shortage in Europe in the current situation and the role of Turkey and Russia in filling this shortage, as well as nuclear threats.

«The Strait of Hormuz is closed and there is a shortage of oil and gas in Europe. Turkey is more than skillfully trying to adapt to this situation, which is trying to diversify the export of natural gas to Europe through “Turkish Stream” and “Blue Stream”. Russia will try to fill that deficit in the form of indirect supplies, but this does not mean that there are no bypass ways, and one of those ways is Turkey, and that is the reason why Turkey is showing a rather passive attitude now,” said the energy security expert.

As for nuclear weapons, he said proliferation must be controlled, and in this regard the IAEA must be given real tools to influence the internal decisions of states, otherwise nuclear weapons could end up in the hands of, for example, various terrorist organizations at any moment. 

«We must closely monitor Turkey’s development of nuclear weapons. This is also brought to the Azerbaijani agenda. Aliyev has already announced the development of a peaceful atom several times, but taking into account the relations between Azerbaijan-Turkey, Azerbaijan-Pakistan, which is a nuclear power, of course, at some point, Azerbaijan will transform the peaceful atom into a military atom. In this regard, even more so, we should not allow our Metsamor nuclear power plant to be closed,” Vahe Davtyan said.
