KAREN KARAPETIAN: TRANSFER OF IRAN-ARMENIA GAS PIPELINE’S ARMENIAN
SECTION TO ARMRUSGAZPROM IS LOGICAL
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The ArmRusgazprom company has
already made a proposal to the Armenian government to transfer the
40-km Meghri-Kajaran section of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline to the
company. Karen Karapetian, Chairman of ArmRusgazprom Board and General
Executive Director of the company, told this to reporters on October
26. According to him, this deal is logical because the gas pipeline
connects the Iranian gas transportation system with that of
ArmRusgazprom. K. Karapetian said that there are various forms of
transferring this section of the gas pipeline, including "the Armenian
side makes a capital investment and increases its divident."
