Russia will not hinder the project of the Iranian gas import to Armenia, economist Iosif Diskin told Armenian News – NEWS.am.

Touching on the energy agreements reached at the trilateral summit of the Russian, Iranian and Azerbaijani presidents in Baku, the expert noted: “It is within Russia’s interests that our allies, partners and brothers in Armenia are provided with gas, and these talks in no way influence the position of Iran, which is interested in exporting its gas to Armenia not only via transit from Georgia, but also from the south.

I think Russia will not obstruct this project, although it is definitely in our interests that Armenia continues getting Russian gas. Thus, I don’t think this is a case of a failure of Armenia’s policy.”

“This is more an issue of a balance of interests and agreements,” he added.
