Previously, we had launched meetings with Iranian colleagues and expected their assistance in the construction of the Engineering City. Mkhitar Hayrapetyan, the Minister of High-Tech Industry of Armenia, stated this during a press conference Monday.

In this connection, he thanked the Iranian ambassador to Armenia, who was able to convince the Iranian contractor company to double its construction resources.

"There is a construction boom there now," Hayrapetyan said.

But he could not say all the reasons why the implementation dates of this project were delayed.

"Not everything depends on us [i.e. Armenia]. The implementation of this project is important for Armenia, and I tried to solve this problem manually, as we could have lost time," the Armenian official emphasized.
