ARMENIA READY TO SUPPLY ELECTRICITY IN MARCH

Armenia is ready to start supplying its neighbor Turkey with
electricity as early as March, an Armenian minister has said.

Armen Movsisian, Armenia’s minister of energy and natural resources,
said technical preparations for the sale of electricity to Turkey
were still under way and that they were expected to be completed
within the next six months, Armenian news agencies have reported. The
electricity purchase comes as part of a deal between the two sides
signed in September and is seen as a concrete step in the direction
of normalization of ties between the two estranged neighbors.

Under the agreement, signed by Armenia’s Energy Ministry, Electricity
Networks of Armenia (ENA) and the Turkish electricity trading company
UNIT, Armenia is to start supplying 1.5 billion kilowatt hours of
electricity a year and will eventually increase this annual volume
to 3.5 billion.

Movsisian said the export of Armenian electricity to Turkey may begin
on March 1 if Ankara completes all the required technical and legal
arrangements by then. "A few days ago we received information from
the Turkish side that the work is on its due course," the Armenian
minister said. "We don’t have any major work to be done on our part
and expect to start the export of electricity at the planned time."

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
