    20:27 / 09/15/2009No negotiations over Armenia's participation in
    the Nabucco project are under way, Andris Piebalgs, Commissioner for
    Energy, European Commission, stated at the Gas Infrastructure World
    Caspian-2009 conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.

    Armenia is not in the list of participating countries, Azeri mass
    media report, referring to the European official.

    Early this September, the Turkey-based Star newspaper reported the
    European Union (EU), which rendered great assistance to Armenia and
    Turkey in reaching an agreement, wanted the planned Nabucco natural
    gas pipeline to run through Armenia, not Georgia, as a transit
    country. The normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations might be
    accompanied by changes in the regional energy balance. Armenia was
    announced a prospective participant in the Nabucco project.
