Mehr News Agency, Iran

TEHRAN, June 11 (MNA) – Iran’s gas export to Armenia was postponed
to next winter due to a delay in pipe-laying operations.
Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart,
Robert Kocharian, opened the pipeline’s first section at a ceremony
near the border.
Under the first stage of the project, Iran will annually export some
400m cubic meters of gas, which will be increased up to 3.2 billion
cubic meters when the 141km link is completed.
The 100 km Iranian section runs from Tabriz to Iran-Armenia border.
The Armenian section runs from Meghri region to Sardarian.
