The regulation of relations between Turkey and Armenia will positively
affect the energy sectors of both countries, EU Special Representative
for the Central Asian states Pierre Morel has said. Armenia might
become a route for future pipelines, he said.
"There are many options for the new Caspian-Turkish pipeline thanks
to the mobile, changing energy landscape," Morel said. The specific
route has not been established yet but there is a school of thought
that it might pass through Armenia.
According to Morel the southern corridor does not only mean NABUCCO but
is a broader concept and "the Caucasus should be used for transporting
energy by all means." Morel said that a corridor is not a single
pipeline but a system of pipelines and only if a group of pipelines
exists is it possible to talk about the southern corridor.
