Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Oil reserves in Azerbaijan are estimated at 30 billion barrels, and gas - at five trillion cubic metres, AzBTC Co. Executive Director Ilkham Nasirov said at an oil and gas conference in Baku. "Hydrocarbon reserves in the Caspian region are estimated at 210 billion barrels, which is sufficient to satisfy world demand for eight years. Reserves in Azerbaijan alone are estimated at five trillion cubic metres of gas and 30 billion barrels of oil," Nasirov said. He said that total world demand for oil in 2010 would increase to 87 million barrels per day, and in 2030 - to 110 million barrels per day. According to the executive director, by 2020 the main volume of oil being transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline will be Kazakh oil. "From 2012 oil production is expected to drop at the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli fields and by 2020-2023 transportation of oil from this block through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline will be insignificant," he said. Nasirov said that Kazakh oil would be supplied to Baku through the Kazakhstan Caspian Transportation System (KCTS). "Work has already been started on the development of onshore infrastructure in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. At the initial stage, in 2010, 500,000 barrels of oil will be transported through the KCTS per day, and later this may increase to 750,000-800,000 barrels," Nasirov said. He said that in the future the capacity of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline might be doubled to two million barrels per day.
Old news, but what significance will this have on the azeris and on the region in 2020? military-wise even...
what happens when all the reserves are all dried up by the end of the century in the Caspian sea?
Interesting times indeed..Last edited by arakeretzig; 10-28-2010, 08:05 AM.Comment

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Looks like Armenia and Azerbaijan have come to an agreement on swapping POWs and bodies of dead soldiers. The terms are still pending but this is what it looks like if they make good on their word and trade all their captives.
To Armenia: 6 Armenian soldiers, 6 Armenian civilians (all a single family), 1 dead body (Manvel Saribekyan)
To Azerbaijan: 2 Azerbaijani soldiers, 1 Azerbaijani civilian, 2 dead bodies (including Azeri national hero Mubariz Ibrahimov)Azerbaboon: 9.000 Google hits and counting!Comment

As he noted, on October 21, Ukrainian and Azerbaijani committee for military cooperation held a meeting, focusing on prospective directions of technical cooperation.
Yezhel specifically noted Azerbaijan’s interest in supply, repair and reconstruction of S-125 Pechora surface-to-air missile system.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
finally a response
Defense Ministry: Armenian armed forces kill Azerbaijani serviceman in frontline29.10.2010 11:30
Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 29 / Trend K. Zarbaliyeva /
A 19-year-old Azerbaijani serviceman, private soldier Telman Mustafayev was killed on Oct. 28 as a result of breach of the ceasefire by Armenian armed forces on the frontline of Armenian and Azerbaijani forces in the direction of Gazakh region of Azerbaijan, Teymur Abdullayev, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, told Trend today.
Mustafayev was called to active military service by the Salyan military commissariat in January 2010.
A conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding negotiations to resolve the dispute.
Armenia has failed to implement UN Security Council resolutions stipulating the liberation of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding regions.Comment
