Serzh Sarkisian: â€œTurkey-Georgia-Azerbaijan economic cooperation is turning into a military allianceâ€

13 March 2008 09:56 (UTC +04:00)

According to him, Turkey-Georgia-Azerbaijan economic cooperation is turning into a military alliance. However, Sarkisian does not consider that Armenia is aside from the regional projects.
â€œI do not regard it as a lost chance that Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline bypasses Armenia. We were offered to recognize Nagorno Karabakh as Azerbaijanâ€™s territory in exchange for Baku-Ceyhan pipelineâ€™s passing through Armenia, and we did not agree to the suggestion,â€ he said.
Serzh Sarkisian did not agree to the statements that Armenia lost as the construction of Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway project commenced.
â€œOn the contrary, a lot of Armenians visit Turkey through Georgia and the construction of the railway will facilitate the establishment of these relations. It should not be made into tragedy,â€ he said.
Serzh Sarkisian underlined that Baku-Tbilisi-Kars project targets at greater states (means Russia), not Armenia.
