    Oct 31 2006

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia may become a transit country
    for the export of natural gas, but it is not yet clear when this
    may happen.

    Chairman of ArmRusgazprom company's board, General Executive Director
    of the company Karen Karapetian expressed this opinion at the October
    31 press conference. Speaking about the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline,
    K. Karapetian said that no second section of this gas pipeline
    exists. The matter just concerns the extension, or increasing the
    capacity of the gas transportation system of ArmRusgazprom, which will
    allow to transport the Iranian gas from Kajaran to Yerevan - to the
    Hrazdan Thermal Power Plant. Initially 300-400 million cubic meters of
    gas will be imported annually, while later this amount will increase
    to 2.3 billion cubic meters. According to K. Karapetian, ArmRusgazprom
    did not submit any written application to the Armenian government
    about the operation of the Armenian section of the Iran-Armenia gas
    pipeline, this issue was discussed verbally. It was mentioned that
    1,753.47 km of gas pipes and 11,474.36 km of distribution networks
    are on ArmRusgazprom's balance.
