Karabakh's status quo - in favor of ArmeniaJuly 14, 2009 - 20:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - While trying to achieve an outcome in Karabakh peace process, the world's superpowers can exert pressure upon Yerevan and Baku. Azerbaijan possesses oil, and has assumed increasingly important role in the region over the recent period. That's why superpowers their "love games" aimed at the realization of Nabucco project, political-scientist Suren Zolyan told today a joint news conference with political scientist Yervand Bazoyan. As noted by the latter, Nabucco is nothing more than a PR-propaganda."Nabucco is a pipeline without gas. The volumes of Azerbaijani gas are not enough for the realization of the project. As to Iranian gas, I don't think it will be used within project frameworks," Bazoyan noted, adding that Baku has not absolutely assumed important role in the region. "Superpowers simply know in what way and on which party to exert pressure on for achieving effective outcome. Karabakh's status quo still works in favor of Armenia," he said in conclusion.
