Russia, Bulgaria to form joint S. Stream company

The South Stream project will only increase Europe's dependence on Russian gas.

European countries should look for alternative sources to Russian gas and should support projects such as NABUCCO and WHITE STREAM 2.

Yes, Mircea - Nabucco relies on such reliable countries like Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Egypt.

If I recall - Azerbaijan is still under a completely Soviet-style regime.
If I recall - Turkmenistan's credibility and human rights record is as dismal as of North Korea. Does the name Saparmurat Niyazov ring a bell?
Iraq is quite an explosive option at this moment - except Iraqi Kurdistan.
The gas would go from there... via greatest friend of Iraqi Kurdistan, Turkey.

Why you would applaud to deals with such true Soviet countries like Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan?
