Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Abbas Badakhshan Zohouri has said that fresh cooperation in gas swap is likely to start between Armenia and Iran soon, Armenpress reports.

“There are technical issues that relevant experts are studying and discussing. It wouldn’t be right for us to say something until it’s not completed. Let’s wait for the results, but whatever the case it's going to be beneficial for both countries,” the ambassador told reporters.

He said that one of the important topics discussed during the 17th Armenian-Iranian Inter-Governmental Session were the energy agreements, including gas swap.

Earlier in May, Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji expressed Iran’s readiness for swapping Turkmenistan’s natural gas to Armenia.
