YEREVAN Sept 8 -- Iran has extended a 30-million-dollar
(25-million-euro) loan to Armenia to build a gas pipeline between the
two countries, Armenian President Robert Kotcharian said on Wednesday.
The loan should enable Yerevan to finance the 41 kilometres of the
141-kilometre (88-mile) pipeline that cross Armenian territory,
Kocharian told journalists after a meeting with his Iranian
counterpart, Mohammad Khatami.
The construction contract has been awarded to Iranian company Sanir.
Iran and Armenia signed a contract in May, under which Iran will
supply Armenia with a total of 36 billion cubic metres of gas over
a 20-year period, expected to start in early 2007.
