    Armenia's central bank governor welcomes closer ties with CBI


    MOSCOW (IRNA) -- Governor of Central Bank of Armenia Wednesday in a
    meeting with Iranian ambassador to Yerevan Alireza Haghaqian stressed
    strengthening bilateral economic and financial cooperation between
    the two nations.

    Tigran Sarkisian said that Armenia attaches importance to it
    relations with Iran based on mutual respect.

    He further added that closer cooperation with Iran can be positive in
    reducing Armenia's economic problems.

    Iranian ambassador also said the two countries should use their
    banking capabilities in joint projects.

    The two nations have forged close economic and trade relations.

    Armenian President Robert Kocharian said here in July that
    Iran-Armenia gas pipeline project is of great importance to Yerevan.

    ArmeRuss Gazprom and Gazprom companies voiced readiness in June to
    contribute to Iran-Armenia gas pipeline project.

    The two companies have started feasibility study on the technical and
    economic aspects of the project and a group of engineers, being
    members of the working group, visited the regions in Armenia from
    where the pipeline is going to pass.

    Experts believe that Iran-Armenia pipeline project is of strategic
    importance to Armenia for not passing the critical spots in northern
    Caucasus and Georgia.

    Iran and Armenia signed agreement on the 142-km gas pipeline project
    in 2001, under which the republic would receive 1,500,000 cubic
    meters of gas from Iran a day.
