Sept 10 2008
[Presenter] Armenia is conquering the energy market in the
region. Turkey will be using electricity exported from Armenia in
January-February 2009. The agreement was signed between Turkey's
(?Unit) [privately-owned] company and Armenia's High-Voltage Power
Lines [state-owned company] during Turkish President Abdullah Gul's
visit to Armenia. According to a preliminary agreement, Armenia will
supply Turkey 1.5bn kWh of electricity annually.
[Armen Movsisyan, the minister of energy and natural resources]
Armenia is starting to export electricity to Turkey.
[Corespondent] This sensational news is the first goal in our favour
in the Armenian-Turkish football diplomacy. The agreement on the
sale of Armenian electricity to Turkish consumers was signed with
the Unit company during Turkish President Abdullah Gul's visit to
Yerevan. The agreement was reached without the mediation of the USA
or Russia. Electricity will probably be exported to Turkey through
the high-voltage power line in Kars [Turkey] in four months. This
deadline was set by Turkish electricians for repairing transformers
on their territory.
[Movsisyan] Armenia will supply Turkey 1.5bn kWh of electricity
annually. This figure will reach 3.5bn kWh in the future.
