    Iran to export natural gas to Azerbaijan, Armenia

    Tehran, May 5, IRNA -- Iran is to export 200 to 350 million cubic
    meters of natural gas to Azerbaijan per annum from the coming winter
    according to a contract that is to be signed by the two sides after
    necessary negotiations and agreements.
    Deputy Minister of Petroleum for Caspian Oil and Gas Affairs
    Hamdollah Mohammadnejad told IRNA here on Wednesday that Iran has
    been in talks for more than one decade with the republics of
    Azerbaijan and Armenia on export of its natural gas.

    Mohammadnejad said that Iran is also to export 1.2 to 2.5 billion
    cubic meters of natural gas to Armenia a year for a period of 20
    years through a 20-inch pipeline.

    The gas, he added, would be transferred to Magri border region
    through a 120 kms pipeline.

    The official said that feasibility studies on the pipeline project
    has been completed and it would be implemented once related contract
    is signed by Iranian and Armenian sides.

    He said Iran gives the priority to transfer of gas to neighboring and
    the Central Asian republics on the long run in a bid to upgrade
    mutual economic cooperation.
