Touching upon the ongoing projects between Armenia and Iran, Armenian Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures Suren Papikyan, who also serves as the Chairman of the Armenia − Iran joint inter-governmental commission, said, “In the reporting period, the construction of the Armenia − Iran 400 kW power transmission line and substation continued. This year the construction is expected to be completed, but, unfortunately, due to the novel coronavirus, the beginning of this year was not so promising. But we hope we will manage to complete the works in accordance with the deadline”.

The Italian company, which won the tender, will carry out these works. The construction works will begin this year”.
