The memorandum on cooperation signed the other day between Iran and Ukraine triggered unequal reaction. Officials in Turkey and Armenia claimed the document on the construction on a gas pipeline from Iran to Ukraine bears not economic but political character, 525-th newspaper reports. The memorandum provides for the formation of joint commission for investigating financial and other issues referring to the construction. The Turkish and Armenian parties showed particular interest in the route. It was supposed that specialists from Iran, Ukraine, Georgian and Russian specialists will serve on the joint commission. However Armenia also received invitation to joint the commission. This fact proves that the gas pipeline is likely to lie through Armenia. To note, both Tehran and Kyiv considered the route to be most convenient. At the same time they did not rule out construction via the Turkish territory. However presently the possibility is questioned, since the invitation was sent to Armenia but not to Turkey. Moreover, members of the Iranian Energy Ministry stated that any accusations advanced by Turkey are groundless, since the latter has not showed proper "transparency" and purposed mostly political aims. That is why Iran decided to export gas via Armenia-Georgia-Ukraine-Eastern Europe route. Turkish press rates the decision as political noting that the export of Iranian gas through Armenia is a step targeted against Turkey and Azerbaijan. While Turkey keeps imposing blockade on Armenia and urges Armenia to abandon claims for Karabakh Iran is strengthening relations with Armenia. This is caused by some conflict of interest of Iran on one hand and Turkey and Azerbaijan on the other hand. Thus, the building of the gas pipeline via Armenia can be viewed as support to this country and equaling of economic and power balance in the region and is a counter-response to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. In the opinion of experts, this step by Iran can spoil its relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, the newspaper writes.
