ArmInfo. Tirkmenistan views the option to implement power supplies to Armenia through Iranian territory.
"Turkmenian powr energy supplies abroad assume cooperation with neighbor countries - Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Afganistan, Iran, Turkey and Armenia. Within the purpose of electric power export appropriate arrangements are undertaken to construct an overhead (aerial) line with 500-400 kV voltage to Mari-Seraskh -Meshxed (Iran). A 400 kV power transmission line is planned to be mounted to Balkanabat- Gonbad (Iran) as well. "The aerial lines construction will give an option to implement energy export projects in respect to Iran by transit through Iranian energy system, " the EnergyLand.info message reads.
To mention, the option of Turkmenian power export to Armenia through Iranian energy framework is being discussed pretty long time. Yet in late 1990th this project was supported by Karen Karapetyan, at that time the director of Armenergo ( currently the prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia). But the project did not succeed at that time due to technical reasons.
