gas pipeline Nabucco, promoted by the European Union, is bleak, says the special presidential representative for economic relations with CIS countries, Viktor Chernomyrdin.
Nabucco - a gas pipeline from nowhere going nowhere. So I say, and so I think - he said at the sixth annual summit of Yalta YES (Yalta European Strategy).
Turning to the ex-Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, who is an advisor to the project Nabucco, Russia's representative added that over the implementation of this project will work even grandchildren, and J. Fischer.
Chernomyrdin said that in 80 of the last century was the Minister of Gas Industry of the USSR, therefore, is well aware of the possibility of Central Asian republics on gas supplies.
Therefore, no jealousy, no. Do you want to build - build, we will not interfere, - he stressed.
Chernomyrdin noted that unlike the project promoted by Russia projects Nord Stream and South Stream are reasonable.
representative of Russia also criticized the retraction in the Nabucco project in Ukraine and support its Ukrainian authorities, because the pipeline will take place in contravention of the Ukrainian territory.
It is better to help Ukraine, - said Victor Chernomyrdin, urging the EU to finance the modernization of the Ukrainian gas transport system.
In turn, J. Fischer said that the nervous reaction of Russia on the implementation of the Nabucco project confirms that it is realistic.
If Nabucco from nowhere to nowhere, then why are you so distressed. If you think of nowhere to nowhere, then forget about it. And your ambassador to Germany each week is talking about it, - he said, referring to the Chernomyrdin.
J. Fischer stressed that the Nabucco has enough gas, it is supported by Turkey and is not directed against Russia. According to him, in case of withdrawal of the pipeline capacity to 31 billion cubic meters a year, he will provide 10% of gas supplies to Europe.
Counselor Nabucco project suggested that the cause of the nervous reaction of Russia may be her dream of a monopoly on gas supplies to Europe, although it is not in the interests of neither Europe nor Russia.
J. Fischer suggested that the project Northern stream was from the very beginning of a political project, and therefore are trying to block for political reasons.
From our point of view of diversification is better - it will be more healthy situation, - he said.
