RBC, 07.09.2007, Yerevan 17:14:02.The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will
be launched in late 2008, Armenia’s Energy Minister Armen Movsisian
said during the government’s meeting on the budget performance in
2006, the ARKA news agency reported today. He pointed out that all
construction works would be completed in mid- or late 2008 if the
weather conditions in the mountain regions were favorable. Therefore,
the second 141 kilometer stretch of the gas pipeline would be ready
for use.

Movsisian also said that the first stretch of the gas pipeline had
been completed, and another 120 kilometers of the second stretch.

This gas pipeline would provide Armenia’s domestic market with
enough gas.
