1 March 2019, 11:00 - NovostiNK

Armenia’s Minister of Economic Development and Investments Tigran Khachatryan says becoming a transit country for Iranian gas will only have positive impact on Armenia.

He says the potential of a gas pipeline is sufficient for enhancing the volumes of imported gas from Iran.

“The possibility of being a transit country for Iranian gas and importing more gas can only have positive impact on efficiently utilizing the existing infrastructure in Armenia. As far as I know the existing capacities allow to double the volumes,” he told reporters today after the Cabinet meeting.

Earlier on February 27, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan told Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during an official visit in Tehran that Armenia is ready to become a transit country for Iranian gas.
