Armenia and Iran will start building next month a third transmission line that will connect their power grids and increase Armenian electricity exports to the Islamic Republic, Energy Mnister Yervand Zakharian said on Wednesday.
Work on the project has repeatedly been postponed by the governments of the two neighboring states due to financial issues and obstacles resulting from international sanctions imposed on Iran.
An intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation co-headed by Zakharian and his Iranian counterpart Hamid Chitchian claimed to have cleared all hurdles to its implementation after a meeting held in Tehran in December.
