YEREVAN. - Energy cooperation with Iran is aimed at maintaining Armenia’s energy security, Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said commenting on possible consequences for Armenian-Iranian energy projects in the light of anti-Iranian sanctions (photo).

“I do not think that someone will voice criticism against Armenia. We are not doing business, only tackling problems of Armenia’s energy security,” he told journalists on Thursday.

Not a single joint project, such as gas pipeline, railway, construction of HPP on Araks River, has been suspended so far.

The Minster also said the construction of HPP will start this year.
