Dmitry Medvedev: Energy projects should not create new dividing lines
President Dmitry Medvedev agreed that energy projects like South Stream should not create new dividing lines and tensions, according to ITAR-TASS.
“I absolutely agree with Serzh Azatovich [Sargsyan] that economic projects should not create dividing lines but should on the contrary strengthen cooperation and interaction in the region.
This is what they are for, including South Stream just as many other projects that can be implemented in the region,” Medvedev said on Monday, October 24, commenting on Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s words that projects like South Stream should not create new dividing lines in the region.
“Everything the Russian Federation does, it does it in order to facilitate the spirit of cooperation, alleviate concerns and increase the competitiveness of both the Russian Federation and other countries involved in these projects,” he added.
