Armenia is about to launch exports of electric power to Turkey,
the country`s energy ministry said.
Accoording to a statement, the sale of electricity is to begin in the
coming days, as the two countries have already resolved the technical
matters involved.
The purchases and sales of electricity are to be carried out in accord
with the agreement signed by Turkey`s UNIT company with Armenia`s
Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and the Armenian High Voltage
Power Grid. The document was signed during Turkish President Abdullah
Gul`s visit to Yerevan in September 2008. The South Caucasus republic
is to supply 1.5 billion KWt/hr of electricity per year to Turkey`s
Gars province.
Armenia and Turkey have been at odds and the border between the two
countries has been closed since 1993. However, there have recently
been signs of normalization in Ankara-Yerevan relations, and the two
countries` officials have held several rounds of talks on various
levels.
