YEREVAN, APRIL 16, ARMENPRESS: Iran's 17th International Oil, Gas,
Refining, and Petrochemical Exhibition will start on Tuesday, reports

preparations. The exhibition which will start April 18 in presence
of several high ranking Iranian officials is to last for four days.
Companies form 44 countries would participate in the exhibition. The
presence of foreign companies comes despite the Western countries
sanctions on Iranian oil industry.

in participating in the exhibition, 940 domestic and 315 foreign
companies will take part in the event.
"Despite the international sanctions on Iran, the number of the
countries participating in this year's exhibition has increased by
about 10 percent compared to the last year," Es'haq Rouyvar, the
director of the 17th Iran oil show said on Monday.
Participation of several international oil companies from the
USA, Germany, the UK, Italy, South Korea, Malaysia and Norway in
the exhibition indicates the importance of Iran oil industry in
international arenas, he said.
On January 23, EU foreign ministers approved sanctions against Tehran,
including a ban on Iranian oil imports.
