Armenia doesn’t export electric energy to Turkey although an agreement
was reached between the two countries last September.
In September 2008, during the visit of Turkish officials to Armenia,
Armenia and Turkey signed an agreement according to which Armenia
was to provide electric power to Turkey. It was agreed that electric
energy would be sold to Turkey from March 1, 2009.
Two months have passed since March 1 but no electric energy has been
sent to Turkey. There is no reference to the preparation works either.
According to the tentative agreement the power supply was to
be realized without any mediators, through the territory of
Kars. Annually, 1.5-milliard kilowatt-hour electric energy was to be
exported to Turkey at the first period.
The Turkish side agreed to recover all technical shortcomings in
September and to restore the lines of electric power transmission.
The Ministry of Energy of Armenia still doesn’t possess any news. "The
agreement has come into effect. If we have any news, we shall inform
you," Ministry’s Spokeswoman Lusine Harutyunyan said to A1+.
Despite the statements of the Armenian side, Turkey continues
dispelling the information.
