I support Iran in this thread. Iranians have been part of Chinese civilization =)! In Xi'an (Western Peace Capital) many Hui Chinese are descended from Persians from the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, China is one of the countries we never had any problems with.

How romantic.

Did you know that Iran owns 10% of Shah Deniz gas field in Azerbaijan?

Turkey owns 9%.

Shah Deniz gas field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turkey owns 9%.

Surenas are you bragging about %1 percent ? And is it "owns" or should you have said "operates" instead ?

I am not bragging about anything. Just wanted to point out that Iran has an interest in Azerbaijani gas too. Besides 1% difference is insignificant of course. 'Owns' is perhaps not the best word, but Iran's share falls under 'ownership' as you can read on that Wiki-page.

Iran is only investor. If Iran does anything illegal like Surenas encourges. Those assets will be freezed and Iran will loose its investment. So Surenas you should think again before wanting to disrupt Azeri-Turkmen projects with outdated frigates.

SOCAR: it’s impossible to exclude Iran from Shah Deniz contract for security reasons

Azerbaijan has made it clear to its European partners that it is impossible to exclude Iran from Shah Deniz contract oriented to gas exports to the EU for security reasons.

Today in Baku at the meeting of the Committee on Energy Security of Euronest Parliamentary Assembly Elshad Nasirov, vice president of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), has stated that when discussing the sanctions of the EU, the U.S. and the UN against Iran an initial reaction on the participation of Iranians in Shah Deniz field was: let’s just get rid of them, but it is impossible to get rid of them.

"First of all, they are part of the agreement. Second, we’ll not do this and refuse from their participation in the consortium, because we’ll not be able to produce serious amounts of gas in disputed areas of the Caspian basin. Third, the most important point is an issue of safety," Nasirov stated.

He had to explain in detail on a hypothetical example the last point.

"Let’s imagine that someone strikes a blow to Iran. Let it be not the United States, but for example, Israel. Iran will strike back, but its missiles will never reach the territory of U.S. and NATO countries for several reasons. And of course they cannot reach Israel’s territory on 2 factors: first, Israel has a good enough antiaircraft defense system and, second, the Iranian missile range is 500 km, and they are unlikely to get in Israel. In this situation the question arises as to whom they will send their strike. To Turkey - no, Georgia - no, to Russia - no, Armenia - God be with you. The only initial reaction is to attack the source of energy security, allies of Israel, the U.S and Europe. And precisely energy security of Europe is guaranteed on Shah Deniz platform," Nasirov said.

Initially a 10% stake in Shah Deniz contract belongs to Iranian national company NICO.

"When we discuss energy security of Europe, it means that the military security of Azerbaijan and Georgia is guaranteed by the energy security of Europe," Nasirov said.

That guy is correct, but may want to update his info about the range of Iran's missiles (2500km).

Azerbaijan should exclude its European partners and increase their and their neighbors share.

Lol... dude you are the definition of "delusional"!

Who do you think Surena is? Iran's president?

@Surenas Dude, don't waste your time with this guy!

 

[Surenas]

I agree, but that won't happen though. Azerbaijan sees Europe as its future market, and they also see Europe (just as Turkey) as their ideological continent.
