ArmInfo.The issue of Iranian gas supplies to Europe in transit through the territory of Armenia entails the need to conduct research on the second layer of the issue - the volume of gas, the cost of its transportation and the volume of investments. RA Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan announced this on November 16 during the government hour in the Armenian Parliament.
According to him, the solution of this problem quite naturally brings to the fore the opportunity to carry out such a large-scale project with prudent resources. The Armenian side, as noted by the Deputy Prime Minister, raised this issue in negotiations with its Iranian partners, but in the context of swap deliveries. In any case, it is necessary to assess the technical equipment of Iran's gas system and the potential of its gas volumes. "No matter how interesting the idea is, everything is not so clear-cut, especially from the point of view of the economic feasibility of such a project," the Deputy Premier said. In this context, he pointed to the existing potential for the export of Armenian electricity to Iran, and if used correctly, this will have a positive impact on domestic electricity tariffs.
