Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenia has all chances to become a “liberal regional scale energy platform”.

Mediamax reports that the General Director of “ArmRosGazprom” Company Karen Karapetyan said this today, speaking at the international conference on “Information Wars. Information Society Modern Challenges”, dated to the 90th anniversary of “Armenpress” Agency.

Karen Karapetyan noted in his report on “Information Wars in Energy” that today’s regional projects for political reasons face limitations of transit schemes and do not represent an example of multilateral regional cooperation.

According to him, the initial reason of such situation is political rivalry, competition of energy “heavyweights” for access to a deposit, a well, a pipeline.

Karen Karapetyan noted that the politicized nature of energy projects in the South Caucasus “hits the pocket of each resident of the region”.

“Low awareness of the region’s population leads to the fact that the elites realize political projects, which are not economically grounded, thus putting a delayed action mine under energy and generating further speculation manifestations in international markets of energy-carriers, the fact, quite probably, being a reason for new global financial and economic crises”, “ArmRosGazprom” Head stated.

Karen Karapetyan suggested the elaboration of new quality of information coverage to secure the support for initiatives of political and business elites in the sphere of energy.

According to him, it is necessary to elaborate by joint efforts a particular behavior code in the information space, increase the professional level of the information process participants.

“In this context, Armenia should occupy a proactive position in elaboration and consistent realization of regional projects, which have a common point for the countries of our region”, Karen Karapetyan stated.

According to him, possessing two gas-pipelines and capacities for gas storage, as well as excessive competitive generating capacities, Armenia has all chances to become a liberal regional scale energy platform.
