Iran has bartered more than 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas with
Armenia's electricity over the past six years.
National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) said recently that around 1.5
billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas has been traded with Armenian
electricity during the 2007-2012 period.
Last year, the Islamic Republic exchanged some 481 million cubic meters
(mcm) of gas with the neighboring country's electricity, the largest
amount of bartering between Iran and Armenia in six years.
