    Iranian gas pipeline to ensure diverse energy sources for Armenia - minister

    Yerevan, 22 December: The possible transit of gas by the Iran-Armenia
    gas pipeline is "an issue of the future", Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vardan Oskanyan said in Yerevan today.

    Oskanyan told a press conference at the National Press Club that the
    main goal in the construction of the gas pipeline is to have diverse
    energy sources for Armenia.

    Asked if Russia could interfere in this issue, Oskanyan said "Armenia
    is always taking into account the interests of the neighbouring
    countries, but is acting, first of all, in line with its own
    interests".

    Commenting on a project to construct a railway between Iran and
    Armenia, Oskanyan said the project requires large funds. However,
    he said as the trade between Armenia and Iran is growing day by day,
    there is a need for a railway between the two countries.

    "This issue needs to be discussed and analysed seriously," Oskanyan
    said.
