Iranian and Armenian officials signed agreements in mid-May for the
construction of two hydroelectric power plants on the Aras river,
according to the IRNA news agency.
The deputy head of Iran's Water and Energy Resources Company, Nasser

the Aras river, the two sides decided to use the relevant hydroelectric
potential.'
A report released by the public relations department of Iran's Water
and Energy Resources Company cited Nemati as saying that based on
the agreement, the first power station with a production capacity of
130MW will be established on the Armenian side of the border.
The second plant of 140MW capacity will be constructed on the Iranian
side. Feasibility studies concerning the first phase of the second
