Tehran, 15 December: Armenian Energy and Natural Resources Minister
Yervand Zakharyan, who is on an official visit to Iran, said that
Yerevan is determined to double the value of its trade ties with
Tehran.
Currently, the value of the annual trade between Iran and Armenia
amounts to 300 million dollars, Zakharyan told reporters on the
sidelines of the 12th session of the two countries' joint economic
commission in Tehran on Monday [15 December].
"We plan to double the figure (value of annual trade) through mutual
cooperation between the two countries," he added.
Zakharyan said that Armenia attaches great significance to its
relations with Iran, which would be in line with the interests of
the two countries.
The Armenian minister also commented on the construction of a
hydroelectric power station in Armenia's southern town of Meghri,
in a bid to increase the potential for energy exchange with Iran and
expressed the hope that proper measures for the construction would
start soon.
He also said the third line for high voltage electricity transmission
from Armenia to Iran would become operational by 2018, adding that
the project would increase the power exchange by two to three times.
