Azerbaijan is fulfilling its commitments with regard to the security
of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, President Ilham Aliyev
visiting China told journalists on Friday.
`We take into account that the pipeline is of interest for countries
hostile to Azerbaijan. Armenia is greatly concerned over the
successful development of the BTC project.’
The President said that there is currently no need for international
forces to be involved in safeguarding the pipeline, and this issue
will be considered only if necessary.
