TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran exported more than 1.5 billion cubic meters (bcm)
of gas to Armenia during 2007-2012 period, a report said.
Around 1.558 billion cubic meters of gas has been traded with Armenia's
electricity in a 6-year period from 2007 to 2012, National Iranian
Gas Company (NIGC) reported.
Iran exported a total of 481 million cubic meters of gas to Armenia
in 2012.
Last month, Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen
Movsisian praised Tehran for its assistance and cooperation with his
country in the development of Armenia's energy sector, and underlined
that Yerevan will continue its cooperation with Tehran in the field.
"Armenia will continue purchasing gas from Iran," Movsisian said in
the Armenian capital of Yerevan on Tuesday.
The Armenian minister of energy and natural resources said that
purchase of gas from Iran takes place in accordance with a swap deal
with the Islamic Republic in exchange for Armenia's electricity.
Iran has long taken various diplomatic initiatives to expand its ties
with the neighboring states.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
pledged in December 2011 to further expand "high-level relations"
between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus to the
implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters
in New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
issues.
