of energy.
He said the two sides agreed to launch the third energy transfer line
between Iran and Armenia and construction of two hydro-electric power
plants on both sides of the Aras River.
The Armenian minister, for his part, expressed the hope that work on
the projects would begin soon.
Zakharian said that once these projects come on stream, energy exchange
between Iran and Armenia would increase two or three folds.
