Iran plans to export gas to Georgia in near future

Xinhua, July 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

Iran will start natural gas exports to Georgia in near future, said an Iranian energy official, reported Tasnim news agency on Monday.

A supply station and a border village used for gas delivering from Iran to Armenia would be adopted for delivery to Georgia, managing director of National Iranian Gas Exports Company, Alireza Kameli, said.

He mentioned that the gas metering station in Nurduz, bordering Armenia, has sufficient capacity for the delivery to Georgia.

Reports said that Iran has built a pipeline of 113 kilometers from northwestern city of Tabriz to Nurduz. And Armenia completed construction of the gas pipeline inside its territory in 2007. Endit
