YEREVAN, January 23. /ARKA/. Armenia never ceased negotiations with neighboring Iran on the possibility of increasing the volume of Iranian gas shipped to Armenia, the deputy minister of energy infrastructure and natural resources Hayk Harutyunyan said today.
"The negotiations on the possibility of increasing the volume of Iranian gas deliveries to Armenia are carried out constantly, but there are no concrete results yet", Harutyunyan told a news conference. "In the talks not everything depends on the Armenian side. When we reach concrete results, we will present the details,' said Harutyunyan.
Armenia receives about 370 million cubic meters of gas a year from Iran, which is converted into electricity and is shipped back to Iran. Earlier it was reported that Iran would triple its gas exports to Armenia by 2019 and will also sell gas to Georgia through Armenia. In particular, Tehran plans to increase natural gas exports to Armenia from 1 million cubic meters of gas per day to 3 million cubic meters. -- -0-
