through Iran would be put into operation in 2009. "The construction of
the alternative channel is realized by means of a consortium,
especially set up for the purpose," Koresh stated, noting that one of
its sides is ArmRosGazprom which was laying a fibre-optic cable
simultaneously with the construction of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline.
