IRAN IS INFORMED ABOUT DETAILS OF TALKS WITH RUSSIAN PARTY
Armenia negotiates the Iran-Armenia pipeline with Russia. Prime
Minister Andranik Margaryan admitted this fact on October 25. During
the briefings in the parliament the reporter of the Lragir.am asked
the prime minister when official Yerevan will finally bring clarity
into the information that regularly comes from the Russian party
whether the Armenian section of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will be
sold or not.
`Generally, we do not consider sale, it is possible that Armenia
invests capital, or we make a joint investment, because it would be
illogical to sustain two gas distribution networks in Armenia. We
have a network and a pipeline and there is Armrusgazard. When it is
time, and we start operating the pipeline and transport gas, the
talks will be more definite,’ says the prime minister.
He stated that Iran is informed about the details of the talks with
the Russian party. Meanwhile, the government does not consider it
necessary to inform the citizens of Armenia about the details of the
talks. `When it is time, you will learn about it,’ says the prime
minister.
