Political analyst: Azerbaijan plays a certain role in ensuring Europe's energy security

Azerbaijan plays a certain role in ensuring Europe's energy security rather than the issue of providing the house of European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso with gas, chairman of the Center for Political Innovation and Technologies Mubariz Ahmadoglu told Trend.

"Azerbaijan's role in ensuring energy security of Europe could rise significantly. At present, a single, strong attitude of Europe to Azerbaijan is required particularly to the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he said.

He said that Armenia compares the term "peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict" and "non-settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict".

"The European Commission has one position towards Azerbaijan, while the EU president Herman van Rompuy and high representative for EU foreign policy Catherine Ashton have another. The European Parliament has another position towards Azerbaijan. It differs from the previous two positions. The participation in ensuring energy security of Europe will implicitly mean the participation in strengthening the Armenian separatists. Are the Europeans so weak from the philosophical, moral, geopolitical and economic point of view that their fate is being discussed in Nagorno-Karabakh?" he said.

He said that the main slogan of observers from the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland in the unrecognized parliamentary elections of the separatists in Nagorno-Karabakh related to the fate of Europe in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

There are "supporters of the thesis" about the unique geographical position of Armenia in all European societies. The geographical position of Armenia, located on the edge of the South Caucasus region, has no transit or communication significance. In this case, "a unique geographical position" stipulates the fact that Armenia is surrounded by non-Christian countries. Sargsyan's thesis that Armenia is the last outpost of Christianity in the East more strengthens this notion, he said.

He said that seeing the weakening of their lies about the Nagorno-Karabakh in the U.S., Russia and France, Armenians have chosen the EU as a space for their bluff to give real results.

"The EU President and High Representative for EU foreign policy, Catherine Ashton's dealing with religious activity more encourages the Armenians to achieve success in this direction. It is strange but both supporters and opponents of transporting Azerbaijani energy resources to the West play a role in enhancing the instrument of pressure on Azerbaijan called Armenia", he further said.
