ARMENIA OFFERS TURKMENISTAN TO COOPERATE IN OIL AND GAS
YEREVAN, APRIL 19, ARMENPRESS: In a message to his Turkmen counterpart
Saparmurad Niyazov Armenian president Robert Kocharian proposed a bilateral
cooperation in crude oil and natural gas sector, which Kocharian said should
become a priority in Armenian-Turkmen cooperation.
The message was conveyed to Turkmen president on Monday by Armenian
ambassador to Turkmenistan Aram Grigorian.
"Armenian president has appointed Karen Karapetian, the chairman of
Hayrusgazard company as the operator for conducting talks with the Turkmen
side," Grigorian told Itar-Tass after handing the letter to Niyazov.
He also said the economic relations between the two countries were
restricted to Armenia's repayment of a debt accumulated in early 90-s for
supplies of Turkmen gas to Armenia. The overall $13 million debt was repaid
fully in 2002 by shipment of Armenian commodities.
