    Tehran Times Economic Desk


    TEHRAN -- Iran will start gas exports to Armenia by October 13, the
    director of the gas export operation office of the National Iranian
    Gas Company (NIGC) said here on Sunday.


    `Armenia also started electricity export to Iran on Sunday,' Rasoul
    Salmani added, IRINN reported.

    `Iran plans to annually export some 1.1 billion cubic meters of gas to
    Armenia. In the first phase Iran will export less volume to Armenia
    but will increase the export volume gradually, and in 2019 will raise
    it to 2.3 billion cubic meters' he explained.

    `In return Iran will annually import 3.3 billion kw/h of electricity
    from Armenia,' Rasuli stated.

    The 100km Iranian section runs from Tabriz to the Iran-Armenia
    border. The Armenian section runs from Meghri region to Sardarian.

    Iran is expected to supply all of Armenia's gas needs within the next
    two years. The total outlay for the pipeline is about $28.2 million.
