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.
