LIFTING OF SANCTIONS FROM IRAN TO LIBERALIZE ITS MARKET AND ENHANCE ITS AVAILABILITY TO ARMENIA - EXPERT
YEREVAN, April 1. /ARKA/. The lifting of sanctions from Iran will
liberalize its market and enhance its availability to Armenia,
Alexander Iskandaryan, a political analyst and the director of the
Caucasus Institute, told journalists on Wednesday.
Iran nuclear talks are under way now in Lausanne. Iran and six world
powers resumed nuclear talks on Wednesday.
As the talks continued, disagreements remained over how to deal
with Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, how much work Iran can
do in future years on advanced centrifuges and how quickly to remove
economic sanctions that have hobbled Iran's economy.
Iskandaryan said.
Many are wrong in thinking that Iranian market is open for Armenia,
while actually it applies only to energy. Armenia is badly in want
of available markets - it is being suffocated without them, since
access to Russia's market is difficult, Europe is too far from here
and our border with Turkey is closed, Iskandaryan said.
he said. Armenia and Iran maintain quite friendly
relations.
The countries are planning to build two most powerful in South Caucasus
hydro power plants.
One of them will be built in the Armenian city of Meghri, and the
other in Iran's Karachilar.
Each of these plants will generate 793 million kilowatt/hour of
electric power.
The two countries are considering ways for building a joint oil
pipeline and a refinery. Negotiations over the matter are frozen now.
Armenia and Iran are also negotiating to build North-South
(Iran-Armenia) Railway. ---0----
