Yerevan to host meeting of Turkmen-Armenian intergovernmental commission
A delegation from Turkmenistan will travel to Yerevan on September 5
to attend the fourth meeting of the intergovernmental Turkmen-Armenian
commission on economic cooperation, Trend reports with reference to an
official Turkmen source.
At the government meeting the Turkmen leader said that Turkmenistan
attaches special importance to building mutually-beneficial
cooperation with other countries, including Armenia.
He said the joint intergovernmental commission plays an important role in this.
Armenia is interested in the purchase of Turkmen electricity. This
question was raised during the official visit of Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan to Ashgabat in November 2010, during which agreements
were signed in the humanitarian, economic and trade areas.
The two countries have experience of cooperation in the field of
electricity supply through Iran. Turkmenistan's power system is
connected to the United Energy System of Central Asia and is able to
export surplus electricity to other countries - Afghanistan, Iran,
Turkey, Tajikistan and others. The agenda includes access to the
markets of the Caucasus region, Kazakhstan and Pakistan.
According to national programme of socio-economic development of
Turkmenistan energy production in the country, in 2030 it will reach
25.5 billion kilowatt / hours per year and exports will exceed 11
billion kilowatt / hours per year.
