U.S. energy establishment expresses interest in Iran-Armenia pipeline
YEREVAN, October 12 (RIA Novosti, Gamlet Matevosyan) - U.S. Energy Secretary
Samuel W. Bodman said Wednesday that the United States would be interested
in contributing to the Iran-Armenia natural gas pipeline project.
Bodman met with his counterpart Armen Movsisyan in Armenia's capital to
discuss the pipeline, as well as to consider the possibility of holding a
U.S.-Armenian energy forum for private companies and financial institutions
in order to boost Armenia's energy sector, the Armenian Foreign Ministry
reported.
Movsisyan said Armenia's only nuclear power plant could be shut down only if
there were other energy-generating facilities available to replace it. He
said Armenia expected the U.S. to help it in ensuring the plant's safety and
developing alternative energy sources.
