Moscow welcomes the resumption of energy cooperation between Yerevan and Baku, but it will be necessary to build a gas pipeline and sign long-term contracts for supplies from Azerbaijan. Alexey Shevtsov, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, informed journalists about this. "We have paid attention to the latest statements of Armenian and Azerbaijani officials regarding the possibilities of supplying gas from Azerbaijan to Armenia. We welcome the resumption of Armenian-Azerbaijani cooperation in the energy sector, which may indicate a positive step towards the restoration of peaceful life in the region," Shevtsov noted. He also drew attention to the supply of diesel fuel and gasoline from Azerbaijan to Armenia after a long-term break. Speaking about the possibility of supplying gas from Azerbaijan to Armenia, the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of Russia noted that "the parties do not deny that it is difficult to supply it at the moment. construction of a new gas pipeline is necessary." "And this, in turn, is justified only in the presence of long-term contracts and stable demand," noted Shevtsov.
