Iran in the near future.

per annum, he added.

the further expansion of mutual cooperation between the two countries,
specially in electricity fields.

status of Iran-Armenia relations, and said, "The two countries enjoy
very close cooperation in the fields of energy and electricity."
He underlined that the two sides have also agreed to create a joint
venture to run a new power transfer line.
The Armenian energy minister, for his part, said that Armenia supports
the construction of the third line for transfer of high-voltage
electricity and Aras Hydroelectric Power Station.
In a similar meeting in Moscow in December, Chitchian and Simonian
underlined the need for boosting bilateral energy relations in the
near future.
Chitchian pointed to the high level of political relations between the
two countries, and said, "We believe that under the current
circumstances cooperation between the two countries can be further
developed in the fields of oil, gas and electricity."
The Armenian energy minister, for his part, said that Iran and Armenia
enjoy very close cooperation, adding that Yerevan attaches great
significance to its ties with Tehran.
Simonian also expressed hope that Iran-Armenia ties would gain
momentum during the presidency of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
