NATO ready to ensure security of Nabucco gas pipeline

PanARMENIAN.Net - NATO does not rule out its military expansion to ensure safety of ways of energy resources even out of the Alliance's area, Michael Gaul, Head of NATO Defense and Security Economics Directorate, said today in Baku.

"The final decision on Nabucco project has not been made. The project participants should solve issues of project registration. Azerbaijan's participation in Nabucco project is an internal matter. The participating countries should come to common coordination. NATO realizes whole importance of Nabucco project and backs Azerbaijan. Undoubtedly, Azerbaijan as a supplier plays very important role," Georgia Online quotes Mr. Gaul as saying.
