Iran to export gas to Georgia via Armenia if Yerevan agrees: official

PanARMENIAN.Net - Tehran and Tbilisi are holding negotiations for the supply of 200 million cubic meters of Iranian gas to Georgia, local media report.

"Gas supply to Georgia will probably begin in the next Iranian year (starting March 21)," the General Director of the National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC) Alireza Kameli said.

According to him, the first contract is signed for 7 months, set to serve as a basis for further cooperation. He also said that "Georgia is yet to get permission from Armenia for it to serve as a transit territory. If the economic feasibility of the transaction is confirmed, we can in the future discuss medium and long-term contracts on gas supplies to Georgia."
