Pipeline, but No Refinery, for Armenia

摘要

Armenia and Iran will soon begin construction of a 168-mile pipeline from the Tabriz refinery in Iran to Yeraskh, Armenia, for the transport of gasoline and diesel fuel. It is expected to cost approximately $240 million, with completion for 2011, according to published reports. Completion of the pipeline will help diversify Armenia's energy resources and satisfy its national demand for oil products, Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said at a press conference.
