YEREVAN, July 3 (RIA Novosti) – Armenian President Robert Kocharyan
will visit Iran on July 5-6, the president’s press secretary said
Monday.
Armenia and Iran are currently constructing a pipeline with a projected
annual capacity of 1.2 billion cubic meters that will be commissioned
in 2007. Russia’s energy giant Gazprom said last week it wanted to
acquire the pipeline "to ensure a reliable supply of natural gas
to Armenia."
