    YEREVAN, November 2 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia's capital and several
    other regions across the country were briefly cut off electric power
    on Saturday due to disrupted electricity supplies from Iran.

    The power supply system in the former Soviet republic of Armenia was
    briefly disconnected from the network of neighboring Iran causing the
    large-scale blackout, spokeswoman of the Energy Ministry, Lusine
    Arutyunyan said in televised remarks broadcast by ArmNews TV.

    On September 22, the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant, which supplies some
    40 percent of the country's electric power, was suspended for the
    annual 54-day repair works and refueling. Over that period, Armenia
    receives electric power from Iran.

    According to Arutyunyan, the line frequency decreased down to 45 Hz
    leaving a great part of the country without electricity. The blackout
    lasted at least 10 minutes, she said.
