    YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS: President Robert Kocharian visited today
    the central office of the Russian-Armenian joint venture-Hayrusgazard-
    that ships Russian natural gas to Armenia.

    Kocharian's press office said the president discussed a scope of
    related issues with the company's leadership. Kocharian said the goal
    of his visit was to learn what the company t did last year and what
    was going to do this year. A detailed summary was provided by Karen
    Karapetian, the chief manager of the company, who said last year
    Armenia received almost 1.7 billion cubic meters of Russian gas,
    a 24 percent rise over the previous year. The number of individual
    and industrial gas consumers is now more than 360,000.

    Karapetian said the process of restoration of gas networks continues
    and some 100,000 new households and enterprises will get connected
    to the gas pipeline this year. He also spoke about the ongoing
    construction of Iran-Armenia gas pipeline and expansion of an
    underground gas storage facility.

    Kocharian said the government is eager to see the company as a
    profitable entity with an effective management. He also said the
    time showed that the decision to choose Russian Gazprom as a partner
    was right. He said new joint projects will promote the company's
    strengthening.
