HAYKAKAN ZHAMANAK: IRAN DENIES CUTTING ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY TO ARMENIA
09:22 ~U 06.11.13
The Saturday power cut on the territory of Armenia turns out to
have been caused by a malfunctioning of the internal energy networks
despite earlier allegations Iran had interrupted the power supply.
The paper notes that Minister of Energy and Natural Armen Movsisyan
recently said in parliament that the power system had been disconnected
by the Iranian side. "It was a technical problem which we had with
the Iranian side ..." the minister said at a debate devoted to the
2014 State Budget.
Later however, Director of Iran's Electricity Networks Management
Company Mirfattah Fattah Qarahbaq told the Fars News Agency that the
massive blackout was not related to Iran. "The power outage in Armenia
last week was related to the internal problems of the country's power
network and seemed to have been caused by the activation of frequency
protection relays which actually shouldn't have been activated,"
he was quoted as saying.
