In near future the energy flows from the Caspian Sea region will bypass Armenia, Robert Cutler, an expert for South Caucasus and Central Asia, Professor at University of Michigan, told reporters at the Caucasus Institute in Yerevan on Oct. 6.
“The project of construction of Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline via Armenia was considered in the 1990s, however, for well-known political reasons the project was suspended and replaced by a route via Georgia,” the expert said.
Cutlers believes that the situation in the region has not changed since then, and in the near future Armenia will have to ensure its own energy security at the expense of other sources.
