HAYRUSGAZARD EYES IRAN-ARMENIA GAS PIPELINE

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 27, ARMENPRESS: The chief manager
of the Russian-Armenian joint venture that delivers
Russian natural gas to Armenia via Georgia, said
yesterday the company asked the government to let it
take the management of a second gas pipeline that
stretches from Iran to Armenia.
Karen Karapetian, the chief manager of HayRusGazArd
company, said the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will have
to be connected to HayRusGazArd network. Karapetian
denied media allegations that the Iran-Armenia gas
pipeline will be handed to a Russian company. He said
the question is whether Iran-Armenia pipeline will be
an independent company or will be given to
HayRusGazArd. He said handing the Iran-Armenia
pipeline to HayRusGazArd was logical.
Forty-five percent of shares in HayRusGazArd are
owned by Russian Gazprom, 10 percent are owned by
another Russian-owned group ITERA and the remaining 45
percent belong to the Armenian government.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
