    TEHRAN, May 29 (MNA) - Construction of the third electricity
    transmission line from Iran to Armenia, with the capacity of 800-900
    mega watts, will start within two weeks, IRNA quoted Iranian Energy
    Minister Majid Namjoo as saying. On the sidelines of his meeting with
    Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan
    here on Sunday, Namjoo added that the project will cost up to 110
    million dollars. The meeting was held in line with the two countries'
    joint economic committee meeting which is chaired by Iranian Minister
    of Foreign Affairs Ali Akbar Salehi and Armenian Minister of Energy
    and Natural Resources Armen Movsisyan, Namjoo said. He went on to
    say that establishing a hydro-electric power plant on Aras River was
    another subject of negotiations between the two countries, based on
    which a 180-megawatt power plant will be built in Iran and another
    180-megawatt power plant will be built in Armenia. Accordingly, a
    consortium comprised of Iranian companies is established to pursue
    construction of the power plant in Armenia at the cost of some 450-500
    million dollars, he further said. HL/MG MNA END
