Iran has held negotiations with Georgia on sending its natural gas to Georgia through Armenia, Managing Director of the National Iranian Gas Exports Company (NIGEC) Alireza Kameli said.
“Based on negotiations with Georgia, we are supposed to take gas to the Armenian border, for Georgia to receive it at its border with Armenia,” Kameli noted. “For signing a deal, however, the gas exports plan must be economical for Georgia,” Press TV of Iran quoted the NIGEC boss as saying.
The plan is to transfer 300-500 million cubic feet a day of Iranian gas through a pipeline for use in power generation in Georgia, he added.
But Alireza Kameli stressed that the planned gas exports to Georgia are intended for domestic use, and not for Europe.
