ROSNEFT THOROUGHLY STUDYING CONSTRUCTION OF RUBBER PLANT IN ARMENIA - VOLINKIN
YEREVAN, February 11. /ARKA/. Russian Rosneft is thoroughly looking
into construction of a rubber plant in Armenia, Russian ambassador
to Armenia Ivan Volinkin said in responding reporter's question about
the company's plans on Nairit chemical plant in Yerevan.
It is a complicated issue, and Rosneft is trying to find a mutually
beneficial solution, the ambassador said. The company is considering
construction of a rubber plant for eco-friendly tire production,
together with Pirelli, Volinkin said in his interview to Armenian
Public TV channel.
On December 25, 2013, Rosneft, Pirelli Tire Russia and Rosneft-Armenia
signed a memorandum of understanding in Yerevan to set up a joint
venture for butadiene-styrene rubber production.
Nairit specialists were doing more or less the same in the old
plant, which means they should be demanded in the new production,
the diplomat said.
Earlier, Armenia's premier Tigran Sargsyan said Rosneft was planning to
invest 400 million dollars in construction of a new plant in Armenia.
Nairit was the only plant in the Soviet Union producing chloroprene
rubber. The plant was closed in 1989 for environmental reasons and
resumed operating partially in 1992. In 2006, 90% of Nairit's shares
were sold to British Rainoville Property Limited for $40 million. The
remaining 10% belong to the Armenian government. The plant operations
were suspended in 2010. -0--
