Moscow denies its Baltic gas pipeline will bypass Poland
2005-10-06, 09:57
Russian authorities informed that the new pipeline to be built on the bottom of the Baltic sea would have links to a number of European countries including Poland.
The Russian ambassador to the European Union said that the new pipeline should connect not divide. Financial analysts, however, stress the fact that regardless of the political importance of the project, its financial side is one big mystery – there is no source of financing and it is unclear if Russians can provide sufficient amounts of gas to make the whole enterprise feasible.
Seems to me that I read last year of another pipeline opening that bypassed Russian ports. It was built with the cooperation of 3 nations but I can't remember which nations. Anybody else remember that pipeline opening?
As I know the only recently built pipeline which bypass Russia is Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan project. Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and USA were involved.
That's the one I remember reading about. Thanks!
