At the meeting of the Armenian-Iranian intergovernmental committee in Yerevan, the issue of increasing the supply of Iranian gas to Armenia was discussed.
"I think you know that Iran is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of gas reserves. And if there is an opportunity to export it, then what better partner than Armenia? ".
- said the Vice President of Iran, Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi, to reporters.
Currently, more than 400 million cubic meters of gas are supplied from Iran to Armenia every year to run some of the Armenian thermal power plants. This is about 20% of the total supply of natural gas to the Republic.
