/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgia intends to join the Iran-Russia-Armenia
united electricity supply network. The agreement was achieved during
a regular session of the Armenian-Georgian intergovernmental
commission for economic cooperation held in Yerevan.

According to Georgian Deputy Energy Minister Archil Nikolaishvili, it
will allow his country to satisfy electricity needs.

`However, it will be a hard process. We lack the essential
equipment to conduct works simultaneously with Armenia. At best, it
will become possible by the end of 2008. But I am hopeful that
formation of a transit energy network will become a reality,’ he
said, ANS TV reports.
