TABRIZ (Mehr)-The Tabriz, Iran-based National Iranian Oil Refining
and Distribution Company "Shahriar" will supply its products to
Armenia, as well as several Central Asian and Caucasus countries,
NIORDC representative Syed Hassan Kasem-Zadeh said Wednesday in an
interview with the Mehr news agency.

Upon the completion of a new refinery in Tabriz, the necessary
conditions for the product’s export to Central Asian and Caucasian
countries, including Armenia will be created. Shahriar oil products
will conform with "Euro 5" environmental standards, added Kasem-Zadeh.

This year Armenia and Iran have launched the construction of
a Tabriz-Yeraskh oil pipeline to supply Armenia with Iranian oil
products. The project will supply fuel and diesel oil to Armenia, which
consumes an estimated 450,000 to 500,000 tons of oil products a year.
