ArmInfo. The new director of the Iranian National Gas Export Company
said in a interview with ISNA Agency that gas will be supplied to
Armenia this winter in case of readiness of the Armenian party. The
available opportunities will allow to supply about 3 mln cub m of
gas per day.

Earlier, RA Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said that the flow
efficiency of Iran- Armenia gas pipeline will be brought to 2,5
bln cub m per year by November, 2008, that will become possible as
a result of increase of the flow efficiency of the gas pipeline at
Kajaran-Yerevan section. A. Movsisyan also said that the major part
of the work at this section has been already done. He added that the
Iranian gas supplies to Armenia may start earlier than the target date,
i.e. till early, 2009.
