“I consider Armenia’s participation in Nabucco program a PR action aimed at enhancing Armenian authorities’ interest,” political analyst Yervand Bozoyan told NEWS.am, commenting on the possibility of Armenia’s involvement in Nabucco project once Armenia-Turkey border is open. The political analyst assumes "they try to make Armenian side to understand how it will benefit if from Armenian-Turkish relations’ normalization and Karabakh conflict settlement.

Bozoyan pointed out that prior to speaking of Armenia’s involvement, “we should realize how realistic Nabucco project is, there are issues to be addressed, having Iran’s participation questioned, just as Turkmenistan (encountering number of problems, but being ready to join only on complementarity principle, that is to supply Nabucco with its gas surplus). Thus, I would not take Nabucco seriously,” Bozoyan said.

Asked whether Iran-Armenia gas main might join Nabucco, Yervand Bozoyan replied: “I do not rule out this possibility, however if Iran participates in this project, it can directly carry its gas towards the main through Turkey to evade resellers”.
