Deputy Chairman of Gazprom Management Board Vitaly Markelov held talks with Iran’s Deputy Minister of Oil Amir-Hossein Zamani-Nia, who arrived in Moscow to convince Russian companies to invest in the Islamic Republic’s oil and gas projects.
Also, negotiations dwelt upon the increase of gas supplies from Iran to Armenia, whose gas transportation system was controlled by Gazprom.
Now Gazprom supplies gas to Armenia through Georgia, but the transit agreement expires at the end of 2016, and Gazprom is keen to reduce the fee. (PanARMENIAN/Business World Magazine)
