PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran hasn't yet started petrol imports to Armenia,
a reliable source at the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources
told PanARMENIAN.Net
"Petrol imports were discussed in bilateral cooperation framework,
however no practical steps have yet been taken," the source at the
ministry said.
As Mehr news agency (MNA) reported earlier, quoting the managing
director of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company,
Armenia expressed interest in importing oil products from Iran.
According to Jalil Salari, importing oil products from Georgia is not
economically justified for Armenia. So, it has embarked on importing
the products from Iran.
The Iranian private sector will transfer oil products to Armenia via
road transportation fleet in the first phase, he said, adding that
exports of oil products will be continued using pipelines.
In February, Iranian and Armenian oil ministers signed an agreement,
based on which Iran will supply Armenia with gasoline, gas oil,
kerosene, and jet fuel.
Iran's gasoline and gas oil production capacities are currently around
50 million liters and 100 million liters per day respectively.
Iran is now exporting gasoline and diesel fuel to neighboring
countries, the managing director of the National Iranian Oil Refining
and Distribution Company Alireza Zeighami said.
According to Zeighami, Iraq, Armenia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan are
now importing or have called for the import of gasoline and diesel
fuel from Iran.
