BAKU-TBILISI-CEYHAN IS OF GEO-POLITICAL RATHER THAN OIL
IMPORTANCE
YEREVAN, MAY 25. ARMINFO. The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline is a
geopolitical rather than oil factor for the South Caucasus, the
representative of the Democracy and Civil Society Development Center
Armat Edvard Agajanov said during a seminar concerning the pipeline.
Armenia should have presented its counter-factor promoting the
settlement of the regional conflicts including the Karabakh one. But
Armenia has done nothing in this direction – this is foreign
political short-handedness. Meanwhile Armenia might have
counterpoised to the oil factor democracy as a basis for economy
development.
To remind, today Azerbaijan launched its section of the pipeline.
Before that Azerbaijan had agreed with Kazakhstan on the latter’s
joining the project – which may now be called
Actau-Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan.
