ArmInfo. Iran is ready to offer its services in construction of reservoirs in Armenia, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani stated at his meeting with Armenia's Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Vache Terteryan.
He noted that Armenia is a rich country in terms of water resources. Iran, as the diplomat emphasized, is one of the ten leading countries in the world in the field of construction of reservoirs and can also be useful to Armenia. The Ambassador was especially interested in what plans the Ministry had regarding the construction of a reservoir.
The Deputy Minister noted that the RA government has presented an extensive program for the construction of reservoirs, and investment programs are also being implemented in the irrigation system.
