The Republic of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran are planning
to build the most powerful hydro power plant in the South Caucasus.

The Meghri Hydro Electric Power Station is a joint project between
the Armenian government and an Iranian company.

Accordingly with the preliminary agreement, each of the stations
is set to produce 793 million kilowatts of electricity. Meghri HPP
capacity is estimated 130 Megawatts. The construction will last for
five years and will cost $323 million , which will be invested by the
Iranian investment company. Armenia is scheduled to return the invested
money in 15 years time by supplying electricity through Meghri HPP’s
230 kilovolt transmission lines built by the Iranian company.

Emil Lazarian: “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
