  Extending through Armenia, Nabucco can involve republic in regional projectsFebruary 12, 2008 - 17:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "The European Union would prefer to be in transit dependence on Armenia rather than on Turkey, which has already opposed joining of Gaz de France to Nabucco, motivating its decision by France's stance on the Armenian Genocide and Sarkozy's position on Turkey's full membership in the EU," Habet Madoyan, expert of Mitq analytical center, said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "As result, Gaz de France will be an associated member. Thus, wishing to avoid energy dependence on Russia, the EU risks to fall into dependence on Turkey, which runs the Blue Fuel. Any alternative gas pipeline through Armenia will involve the republic in regional projects. Nabucco construction is supposed to kick off in 2009 and something can be changed still," he said.
