[Presenter] The National Security Ministry has obtained information about acts of sabotage being prepared on the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, Minister Namiq Abbasov has told ATV. Being more specific, the minister said that Al-Qa'ida is involved in the terrorist threat.
[Reporter] The country's special services have information that international terrorist groups are planning sabotage on the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. National Security Minister Namiq Abbasov said that Al-Qa'ida was also mentioned in this connection.
[Namiq Abbasov] We have such reports. This is quite possible. There are quite a few opponents of Baku-Ceyhan. All kinds of threats against it are quite possible.
[Reporter] The general did not rule out that Al-Qa'ida members could be hiding in occupied uncontrolled territories. He said that it would be irresponsible to dismiss possible sabotage on the Azerbaijani section of the oil pipeline. But the minister stressed that special services were carrying out the necessary measures in order to prevent this.
Mr Abbasov also commented on the problem of the two Armenians who left Armenia for Azerbaijan and are seeking asylum in a third country. The problem will be settled very soon, the minister said.
