Slight delay for Iran-Armenia pipeline
YEREVAN, Armenia, Sept. 27 (UPI) — The deadline for the construction
of the second phase of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline has been delayed
from late 2008 to January 2009.
Arminfo reported Thursday the Armenian Cabinet announced that work
on the section from the town of Kajaran to the town of Ararat will
be completed next January.
The government instructed gas firm Hayrusgazard to conduct construction
and project work simultaneously taking into account environmental
concerns, a government statement said.
The Kajaran-Ararat section is 122.65 miles long. Once it’s complete,
Iranian supplies to Armenia will rise from 450 million cubic meters
a year to 2.3 billion cu m a year, Arminfo reported.
