The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will be put into operation in the
near future, Armenian Defense Ministry Serzh Sargsyan, the Armenian
co-chair of the Armenian-Russian committee on economic cooperation,
told Radio Liberty.

According to him, the gas pipeline can’t be used as a transit one
due to its capacity. At any rate, the pipeline is extremely important
for Armenia, S.Sargsyan emphasized.

To remind, the Iranian government granted a credit for the construction
of the first section of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline which is to be
completed by March 17. The client of the construction is the "High
Voltage Power Transmission Lines" CJSC, and the contractor is the
Iranian "Sanir" company.
