So I guess Georgia and Azerbaijan are okay with each other right now?
Were they ever not?
I don't know, but it's not a region known for stability and great relations. Armenia and Azerbaijan were in a shooting war over territory a couple years ago, there's several breakaway states, Russia's slowly moving it's border into Georgia...
These pipeline are capital intensive, so how nations route them signals some political trust (maybe in the past).
Well, the ones that are proposed may not actually be built. Talk is cheap, basically, and in less-than-democratic countries followup might be absent. But yes, it suggests are certain chummyness.
