Armenia May Be Used as Transit Territory for Iranian GasSeptember 19, 2006 - 18:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The US and Russia are united in the matter of using Armenia as transit territory for Iranian gas to the west, Head of Hay Dat Office Kiro Manoyan stated at a news conference September 19. In his words, the two superpowers realize that for Armenia, which is in an economic blockade, having an alternative gas source is necessary. "It is important that Russia - the only gas supplier to Armenia - realizes that fact," he said. As for Armenian-Iranian relations, Manoyan believes there are no false rumors seen. «The «Iranian dossier» may become the only factor for worsening. If US desires are turned into reality and the international community applies sanctions against Iran, problems may appear in Armenian-Iranian relations,» Manoyan stressed, reports IA Regnum. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
