gas from Iran started November, 2008, RA Minister of Energy and

pipeline has been mainly completed and the pipeline's testing will
shortly begin. A. Movsisyan added that the Iranian gas will be used
by Armenia in case of necessity which may occur under circumstances
of insuperable force when supplies of the Russian gas to Armenia will

gas pipeline was built as an alternative to the northern main gas
pipeline through which Armenia receives gas from Russia through
Georgia's territory. To note, under the agreement, Iran will supply
