Iranian oil products to be supplied to Armenia

The Tabriz-based National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) “Shahriar” will supply its products to Armenia, as well as several Central Asian and Caucasian countries, NIORDC representative Syed Hassan Kasem-Zadeh told August 19 in an interview with Mehr agency.

Upon the completion of the new refinery construction in Tabriz, the necessary conditions for the products export to Central Asian and Caucasian countries, including Armenia will be created. Shahriar oil products will conform to “Euro 5” environmental standard, Kasem-Zadeh added.

This year Armenia and Iran have launched construction of a Tabriz (Iran)-Yeraskh (Armenia) oil pipeline to supply Armenia with Iranian oil products. The project aims at supplying Armenian domestic fuel and diesel oil needs, that consumes 450-500 thousand tons of oil products a year.
