    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 1, NOYAN TAPAN. A ceremony dedicated to the
    completion of the construction of the linear section of 186.3-km
    Kajaran-Ararat gas-main pipeline took place near the city of
    Ararat on December 1. The indicated section is the continuation of
    Iran-Armenia gas pipeline. Its construction began in 2004 on the
    initiative of the Armenian government with the aim of extending the
    resource base of Armenia's natural gas supply and creating a second
    entry line. Kajaran-Ararat gas pipeline was build in hard geological
    and weather conditions, at an altitude of 1,500-3,000 meters above
    sea level.

    Thanks to the implementation of more than 130 million dollar investment
    program, Iranian gas will be transported to central regions of Armenia
    through Kajaran-Ararat gas pipeline, and payments for gas will be made
    by the principle of "gas against electricity". Electricity generated
    by Yerevan Thermal Power Plant with the capacity of 230 megawatts and
    the 5th power unit of Hrazdan Thermal Power Plant with the capacity
    of 480 megawatts will ensure delivery of its amount envisaged by an
    agreement to Iran, while the sale of "profitable" electricity will
    ensure repayment of gas transportation and the program's investments.

    The ceremony was attended by the Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan,
    the chairman of Gazprom OJSC's board Alexey Miller, the former Armenian
    president Robert Kocharian, other officials.
