    Yerevan, 7 April: Gazprom has refused to take the Iran-Armenia gas
    pipeline. The Gazprom open-type joint-stock company has corrected the
    report on the 25-year agreement signed by the Armenian government
    which the company's public relations department published earlier. The
    agreement defines strategic principles of cooperation in gas and
    energy projects in Armenia.

    The provisions regarding to the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline have been
    fully omitted from the new version of the press release which has been
    posted on Gazprom's official website. The initial version of the press
    release, sent to the mass media on 6 April, said that Gazprom will
    take the ArmRosgazprom closed-type joint stock company from the
    Armenian government, including a 40-kilometer section of the Iran
    -Armenia gas pipeline and the fifth energy unit of the Razdan power
    plant, under the agreement. It also said that the Armenian government
    will give ArmRosgazprom the functions of the project owner of the
    construction of the second section of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline,
    which is 197 km long.

    The new version of the document only mentioned taking the fifth energy
    unit of the Razdan power plant from the Armenian government.
