    Armenia and Iran in talks to build oil products pipeline


    RIA Novosti reported that Armenia and Iran are discussing joint
    projects to build a rail link and an oil products pipeline.

    Mr Armen Movsisyan energy minister of Armenia said that `I'll see
    together with Mr Majid Namjou energy minister of Iran that the
    implementation of these two major programs currently at the stage of
    working discussions begins as soon as possible.'

    Mr Movsisyan said that `The implementation of these two projects will
    raise the level of economic cooperation between the two countries.'

    Armenia and Iran initially planned to start the construction of the
    oil products pipeline in 2011 and finish it in 2014. The pipeline will
    deliver gasoline and diesel fuel from Iranian refineries and other
    Persian Gulf countries to the Armenian town of Yeraskh via Iran's
    Tabriz

    The pipeline will allow Armenia to import petroleum products from the
    Persian Gulf region at exchange traded prices that are much lower than
    European market prices and considerably cut transport expenses
    compared with transportation by rail.

    Armenia will invest USD 100 million to finance pipeline construction
    on its territory. The North South (Iran-Armenia) railway will allow
    Armenia to use an alternative route for the transportation of energy
    products and other commodities and gain access to external markets.
