    EU ENVOY: ARMENIA MAY BE ROUTE FOR FUTURE PIPELINE

    The normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia and
    the opening of their sealed border are expected to have positive
    repercussions in the energy field for both countries, according to the
    EU's special representative for Central Asia, Pierre Morel. Armenia
    could also be a route for a future pipeline, he says

    There are many options for new Caspian-Turkish energy pipelines due
    to the "mobile energy landscape," according to a senior European Union
    official who predicts Armenia could be the site of a future network.

    "There have been different options. Things have not been fixed up
    to now. The greatest idea to say is well, in the future, why not use
    Armenia as a way for other pipelines," Pierre Morel, the EU's special
    representative for Central Asia, told the Hurriyet Daily News &
    Economic Review.

    The normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia and
    the opening of the sealed border are expected to have positive
    repercussions in the energy field for both Armenia and Turkey. While
    the detente would allow Armenia to become a possible transit route for
    energy pipelines shipping oil and gas from the Caspian Sea to Turkey's
    Mediterranean coast, it would also help make Turkey a major energy hub.
