Energy Minister Parviz Fattah is to begin a visit to Armenia today to
participate in the Iran-Armenia-Georgia trilateral meeting as well as
follow up joint border projects and a bilateral agreement for supply
of electricity to Armenia.
On the two countries' energy cooperation, he said a third 230-kilovolt
transmission line being set up by the Iranian Sanir company in
Armenia is one of their ongoing projects and is to become operational
by year-end.
Electricity networks of Iran, Armenia and Georgia will be linked in
the near future so that Iran can have greater access to international
networks through Geogria, the minister told.
Construction of a dam on their joint Aras river is another Iran-Armenia
ongoing joint project, he said, adding that talks are underway for
construction of another dam in Armenia.
The 235-km Aras river forms an international border between Iran,
Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia.
