Iranian energy minister expected in Armenia

On the two countries' energy cooperation, he said a third 230-kilovolt transmission line being set up by the Iranian Sanir company in Armenia is one of their ongoing projects and is to become operational by year-end.

Electricity networks of Iran, Armenia and Georgia will be linked in the near future so that Iran can have greater access to international networks through Geogria, the minister told IRNA.

Construction of a dam on their joint Aras river is another Iran-Armenia ongoing joint project, he said, adding that talks are underway for construction of another dam in Armenia.

The 235-km Aras river forms an international border between Iran, Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia.
