ARMENIA GAS PRICE MAY GO UP WITH PIPELINE

YEREVAN, Armenia, March 12 Gas tariffs in Armenia may rise by $16
per 1,000 cubic meters if Yerevan invests in the second section of
the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline, an expert said.

The comments by Robert Nazaryan, chairman of Armenia’s public services
regulatory commission, came Monday as he was endorsing the Hayrusgazard
investment program for 2007-09, which is worth $193 million. The
comments were reported by the Arminfo news agency.

He said the costs might be less if Armenia’s supply of 3 kW of
electricity for 1 cu.m. of gas from Iran was taken into account.

He noted, however, that the investment was needed to ensure Armenia’s
energy security. Hayrusgazard plans to invest $93 million to increase
the capacity of the pipeline’s section running from Kajaran to Ararat,
Arminfo reported.

Work on the 120-mile pipeline began last year.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
