YEREVAN, July 1. /ARKA/. Armenia will develop a new segment of its industry – production of basalt fiber, Vahan Vermishyan, head of the Urban Planning Committee, told journalists on Monday.
He said that Armenia already has a plant producing basalt fiber, but this is a small plant.
“We have negotiated with our Japanese colleagues, who have done a great deal in exploring new technologies in this area, and we are planning to use their scientific potential and experience for producing basalt fiber in Armenia,” Vermishyan said.
In his opinion, composite materials, especially basalt fiber, are more powerful resources than oil and natural gas, since they have already firmly entered in the norms of innovative construction, and Armenia is among few countries that have such resources.
Vermishyan said that Japanese colleagues are likely to provide support in construction of a new plant and expansion of already existing plant. -0---
