Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has arrived in Armenia for an
official visit. At the airport, the President was welcomed by Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian.
Further, Armenia's presidential residence hosted the meeting of
Ahmadinejad with Armenian leader Serzh Sargsyan.
Discussion of Meghri hydropower plant construction, as well as other
projects to be implemented were on presidential visit agenda.
Armenia and Iran are planning to build two high-capacity hydropower
plants: in Meghri and Karachilar (Iran). Each plant is envisaged
to generate 793mln kilowatt/h of electric power. Preparations for
the construction in Meghri will finish this year, the project being
estimated at $323mln to be invested by the Iranian Investment Company.
According to the agreement, the power generated by the plant will
be delivered to Iran during 15 years. Afterwards, the plant will be
transferred to Armenian side. As to construction of other plants, it's
hardly possible as Armenia doesn't possess sufficient water resources.
