/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A conflict between Iran and West over the nuclear
program will influence not only on the South Caucasus but also on
the whole world, said Azer Mursaliyev, the head of the political and
economic department of Kommersant daily. Presently it's impossible
to give a detailed forecast on the conflict's possible influence
on the region, according to him. "The nature of the conflict is not
known yet as well as the kind of attacks," he said adding that some
Russia media furnished information on the facilities to be bombed in
Azerbaijan and Georgia. "I don't think it will help Iran. The scenario
with closing the Strait of Hormuz is more likely. It will be enough
to sink a couple of tankers or barges. Any rebel in American's rear,
i.e in Iraq, is also senseless. U.S. has the only military power to
fight against Iran - the navy," he said.
"If the U.S. operation leads to change of power in Iran, the
significance of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan will sharply lower. "Presently
Azerbaijan and Georgia are eyed as the only narrow corridor relatively
free of Russia and Iran's influence. In case of change of power Iran
will no more be an anti-America state and the corridor will become
unnecessary," the expert considers.
