    "SOUTH STREAM" THREATENS "NABUCCO"

    The Gazprom-ENI South Stream project is seen as a competitor to the
    EU's Nabucco pipeline and its commissioning term is also nearly
    identical to its EU-favoured rival. Until now, Nabucco and South
    Stream's capacities were considered identical, making South Stream
    potentially more interesting. Ariel Kohen, the head of international
    energy security affairs of "The Heritage Foundation" of Eurasia and
    Russia told 1news.az that Nabucco has been withdrawn by South Stream.

    Regarding friendly relations of Russia and Azerbaijan, decline of
    Turkey-Azerbaijan gas agreement "Nabucco" turned to be under threat.

    It's believed that Turkey wants Iran to join Nabucco, a plan which
    the West dislikes. To conclude it's evident that Russia has more
    successful position over world gas projects due to South Stream.
