The prospects for long-term cooperation in the energy sector have been discussed with Armenia. Iranian Vice President Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi on Tuesday told this to reporters in Yerevan.

He said that the results of these discussions had formed the basis of the document signed between the two countries. Pourmohammadi recalled that one of the working groups set up concerns cooperation in the energy sector.

“All directions of cooperation in the energy sector have been discussed within the framework of this group,” the Iranian vice president noted, adding that this concerns electricity, natural gas, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene.

Also, Pourmohammadi emphasized that Iran is one of the countries with the largest natural gas reserves in the world. "If Iran were to have the opportunity to export [natural] gas, there is simply no better partner for it than Armenia," the Iranian vice president concluded.
