/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Construction of Tabriz (Iran)-Yeraskh (Armenia) oil
pipeline, which will pump oil products from a refinery in Tabriz to
Armenia, will start in 2009, RA Minister of Energy and Natural
Resources said.

"The oil pipeline will first of all satisfy Armenia’s needs, including
strengthening of energy security of the republic, reduction of
transport expenses and establishment of competitive market prices,"
Armen Movsisyan told journalists today.

Earlier, Minister Movsisyan stated that the construction will
presumably cost $200-240 mln.

The passing-pipe size is 250 mm and length is 300 km.

“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
