A State Department official once again supports the Trans-Caspian Pipeline
The USA support trans-Caspian pipeline project, said on Wednesday in Ashgabat, the U.S. State Department spokesman, Lynn Tracy. Speaking at an international conference on the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan, it noted that Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and the European Union continue to negotiate an agreement on the construction of the Trans-Caspian pipeline.
" The USA support for the Trans-Caspian pipeline, and we confirm the suggestion that, if Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan reach an agreement on the pipeline, which crosses only their territorial waters, no other country will have a right to veto such a decision," said Tracy.
Russia and Iran oppose this project, citing the unresolved legal status of the Caspian Sea. However, the most important reason for the delay in the implementation of this project disability of Baku and Ashgabat to find common ground on the definition of the boundaries of the national sectors of the two countries. Thus, Turkmenistan claims to oil fields Chirag and Guneshli, and Kapaz, arguing that they are in its sector. Ashgabat even threatened to appeal to the international arbitration on the matter, but did not appeal. -02D-
