YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, NOYAN TAPAN. The construction of the
Iran-Armenia gas pipeline has been completed. According to Azg daily,
the Armenian minister of energy and natural resources Armen Movsisian
announced this during a briefing with reporters. In his words, it
remains to complete the work on increasing the carrying capacity of
the Kajaran-Yerevan section of the gas pipeline, which will be done
by November of this year. The test of the pipeline will start soon,
after which it will be possible to use it in full operation.
A. Movsisian said that the gas pipeline will allow to import up
to 2.3-2.5 billion cubic meters of gas into Armenia annually. To
what extent the pipeline will be used depends on demand. The
Iranian gas will be used in parallel with Russian one - in case of
necessity. "Under various force majeure circumstances, this will
allow to ensure normal gas supply and avoid shocks in the country,"
the minister said.
