Vartan Oskanian attaches great importance to the inauguration of the
Iran-Armenian gas pipeline and says the deal is of military importance.
Iran-Armenia gas pipeline is a serious step to diversify Armenian
energy sources. It will make Armenia’s energy sphere more independent
and less vulnerable," Vartan Oskanian maintains.
In answer to the question whether the Iranian gas will ensure the
independence of the Armenian energy sphere, when the RA authorities
are going to hand the pipeline to the RF, Vartan Oskanian said,
"The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline is an Iran-Armenia project. No other
country is engaged in the project. The future of the gas pipeline will
be considered after the final accomplishment of works. It is quite
logical that the concession will be given to "ArmRusGazArd." It is
an Armenian organization and deals with all the gas issues".
"The stability of the pipeline must be ensured to make it
non-vulnerable. The gas pipeline is ours, and no one intends to give
it to others. No one will close the tap."
