Feb 2 2011
Iran will consider constructing an oil pipeline to Armenia and a
gas pipeline to Syria after signing separate agreements with the
two countries.
The energy ministers of Iran and Armenia have agreed to construct an
oil pipeline between the neighbouring nations.
The pipeline would extend from Habriz in northeastern Iran to the
Armenian border.
Iranian Oil Minister Massoud Mirkazemi said a special committee would
determine the technical details of the pipeline, including capacity.
The timeline of the project has not yet been released.
Meanwhile, Syria and Iran have signed a preliminary agreement to
construct a gas pipeline from Iran to Syria through Iraq.
Under the preliminary agreement a working group comprising members
of the three countries will be established to undertake preliminary
studies for the project.
