EU Understands Armenia's Interest in Iran-Armenia Gas Pipeline

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia is going to become a part of the new Euro-Atlantic energy security concept being elaborated by the U.S. and EU, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated at a press conference in Yerevan. In his words the elaboration of the concept started after the rise in tariffs for Russian gas and problems with its delivery to Ukraine. "The matter concerns new NPPs, construction of a Transcaspian gas pipeline. These projects are of big interest for Armenia," Oskanian noted. For his part EU Envoy for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby remarked that the EU understands Armenia's concern in the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline. At the same time noted he is unaware whether the U.S. will make an attack on Iran. "The EU knows that Armenia and Iran enjoy neighbor relations," Semneby said.
