Armenia says launching power exports to Turkey
Armenia is about to launch exports of electric power
to Turkey, the country`s energy ministry said.
Accoording to a statement, the sale of electricity is to begin in the coming days, as the two countries have already resolved the technical matters involved.
The purchases and sales of electricity are to be carried out in accord with the agreement signed by Turkey`s UNIT company with Armenia`s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and the Armenian High Voltage Power Grid. The document was signed during Turkish President Abdullah Gul`s visit to Yerevan in September 2008. The South Caucasus republic is to supply 1.5 billion KWt/hr of electricity per year to Turkey`s Gars province.
Armenia and Turkey have been at odds and the border between the two countries has been closed since 1993. However, there have recently been signs of normalization in Ankara-Yerevan relations, and the two countries` officials have held several rounds of talks on various levels.
