NABUCCO west is a political project

According to Russian analysts, NABUCCO West is a political project with a weak economic base. According to them, the project perpetually faces the same serious obstacle- there is no gas for the project. Russian analyst, Ioseb Diskin states that from the beginning, Iranian and Turkmenistan gas was supposed to be used for the project. However, after Europe shared the US position towards Iran, the plan failed. As for the Turkmenistan gas the analyst suggested that the country is mainly focused on the Chinese market and practically all Turkmenistan's gas export will be targeted to China.
