ArmInfo. The Armenian government works on various swap schemes to receive gas, Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said answering to ArmInfo's question at the today's press conference summing up the results of the first 100 days of which premiership.
According to him swap supplies to Armenia have been discussed with the Ambassadors of Iran and Turkmenistan on the first working day of 2017.
To recall, the supply of Russian gas to Armenia via Georgia's territory regularly becomes a subject of discussions in the context of relations between Moscow and Tbilisi. However, as of today this route has no alternatives, as the second pipeline coming to Armenia from Iran does not have enough capacity to ensure the needed amount of gas.
According to ArmInfo's analysts, quite possibly, Armenia intends to set swap supplies of Turkmenistan's gas via Iran's territory. Particularly, Turkmenistan will supply gas to Iran, who in turn will export the same amount to Armenia.
