    June 13 2006

    TEHRAN - Iran and Armenia will soon sign an agreement on construction
    of the third 312 km power transmission line to increase electricity
    exchange between the two countries, the Persian service of ISNA
    reported yesterday.

    In a ceremony on Monday, Armenian deputy energy minister Simonian
    and executive director of Export Development Bank of Iran (EDBI)
    endorsed financial agreement on paying part of the project valued at
    $90m to Armenia.

    "Insurance coverage and exporting technical and engineering services
    are also part of the package offered by EDBI which pays 85% of total
    cost to the contractor," the director, Noruz Kohzadi, stipulated.

    "The repayment terms are set at five years for this 800-MW business,"
    he said, adding that the bank commonly finances the projects which
    are 60% domestically made and are performed by private sector.

    The third power line will transfer electricity through the
    double-circuits with the carrying voltage of 400 KV.
