Tehran: The managing director of Iran Water and Power Resources
Development Company has said Iran and Armenia consider construction
of a dam on River Araxes. In an interview to Mehr News, Mohammad Reza
Rezazadeh provided the details of meetings with Armenian officials
about joint hydroelectric power plant constructed on River Araxes in
Iran-Armenia borders.
In construction of dams, considerations should be made in terms of the
rivers water amount, he said, and that reassessment of the project
of construction of dam on Araxes would yield no significant changes
to the plan prepared.
He also said that Armenian minister of energy would also discuss the
project with his advisers. Iranian experts visited Armenia for a field
investigation and they found that the former USSR-era explorations
had confirmed Iran-initiated project, he added.
