ARMENIA USES NOT ALL OPPORTUNITIES IN COOPERATION WITH IRAN
YEREVAN, February 11. /ARKA/. Armenia doesn't use all the opportunities
of economic cooperation with Iran, Armen Martirosyan, an MP from
Heritage opposition party, said Wednesday at a news conference.
He thinks the Armenian authorities don't use economic capacity to its
full extent - they are only negotiating over construction of Meghri
Hydro Power Plant and Iran-Armenia railway, but both projects are
unlikely to be put into reality.
Martirosyan said.
He pointed out struggle against terrorism as another ground for
cooperation.
The opposition lawmaker also finds it important to develop relations
with Iraqi Kurdistan.
he said.
Relations between the two countries are quite friendly. Yerevan and
Tehran intend to build two hydro power plants on Arax River. Each of
these power plants is planned to generate 793 million kilowatt/hour
electric power every year.
Armenian and Iranian authorities were considering ways for construction
of a joint oil pipeline and a refinery, but the negotiations over
the matter were suspended.
The countries are also discussing an idea of construction of
North-South (Iran-Armenia) railway, which will be an alternative
transportation link for Armenia opening anot
