    Iran to Supply Armenia with Gasoline, Diesel Oil


    TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian oil official announced that the country
    is due to export 1.5 million liters of gasoline and diesel oil to
    Armenia each day.

    "Based on the agreement, Iran will export 750,000 liters of gasoline
    and 750,000 liters of diesel oil to Yerevan on daily basis," Iranian
    Deputy Oil Minister and Managing Director of National Iranian Oil
    Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) Alireza Zeiqami stated.

    Late in January, Iranian Oil Minister Massoud Mir-Kazzemi announced
    that Iran and Armenia plan to construct a new oil pipeline to increase
    energy supply to the Caucasian state.

    Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with visiting Armenian Minister
    of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisian here in Tehran,
    Mir-Kazzemi said that the pipeline will begin from Iran's Northwestern
    city of Tabriz and stretch toward the Armenian border.

    The minister added that the pipeline can help Armenia meet parts of
    its needs for oil products from the Islamic Republic.

    He added that the two sides will finalize the volume and the value of
    the exports of oil products during a meeting in the near future.

    By 2014, the 365 kilometer, 8 inch pipeline will transfer oil products
    from Tabriz to Yerevan.

    Iran and Armenia have also expanded cooperation in power and gas swap
    in recent years.

    Iran mainly exports natural gas to Armenia and imports power supplies
    from the Caucasian state through two transfer lines with a total power
    transfer capacity of 220kw/ph at present.
