Iran has signed a trial agreement on gas export to Georgia via Armenia. The Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh said the aforementioned after the meeting with the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources of Armenia Levon Yolyan, Iranian IRNA news agency reports. According to Mr Zangeneh, the Armenian side has arrived to participate in the talks at the invitation of Iranian colleagues in order to discuss the possibilities of gas transit to Georgia. The Iranian side approved the initiative. The organization which will purchase Iranian gas in Armenia has also changed: earlier it was Yerevan thermal power plant, while now that will be another organization, Zangeneh noted. This new organization will coordinate the upcoming direct gas sale agreements and gas transit to other regions from the country. “Of course, Armenia is not a major consumer but can open an important way for Iranian gas exports and in this field there has been agreement between the two sides,” Zangeneh said.
