Russia to benefit from Iranian gas supplies to Armenia

RBC, 26.03.2007, Yerevan 16:53:49.Supplies of Iranian gas to
Armenia may be beneficial not only for Armenia and Iran, but also for
Russian business, Armenian Deputy Energy Minister Ara Simonian said
in an interview for ARMINFO. According to him, the Iran-Armenia gas
pipeline will facilitate long-term secure agreements for companies
with Russian capital operating in the republic. In particular, such
deals may be in store for the fifth power generating unit of the
Razdan thermal power plant and the Armenian-Russian joint stock
company ArmRosgazprom, ARMINFO quoted the deputy minister as saying.
