The Russian energy giant Gazprom is in talks with Iran over exchange operations for gas supplies to Armenia, CEO Alexey Miller said, according to Sputnik International.

Miller met Tuesday, December 8, with Georgia Energy Minister Kakha Kaladze for negotiations.

"Yes, we did discuss this issue," Miller said in response to a question on whether he and Kaladze talked supply of gas to Armenia via Iran.

At the moment, the Russian gas reaches Armenia via Georgia.

In November, Iranian Petroleum Minister Bijan Zangeneh said Tehran was already in talks with Moscow on oil and gas swap agreement.
