Russia to help Armenia mine for uranium

YEREVAN, Jan 29 2007

Russia is to help Armenia look for uranium to supply a Russian-run
nuclear power station near the capital Yerevan, Armenian officials
said on Monday.

"Uranium deposits were looked for in the Soviet era. There are
documents confirming their existence in Rosatom," Russia's atomic
agency authority, presidential spokesman Viktor Sogomonian told
reporters.

"The uranium will not be enriched and will be produced exclusively
for the needs of the Armenian atomic industry," he added.

Armenia's only nuclear power station, Metsamor, is operated by an
affiliate of state-owned Russian power group SEU and supplies around
40 percent of Armenia's electricity needs.

I hear Russia is also going to set up a oil refining plant in southern Armenia (Mehgri region). From what I read this plant will refine oil from Iran.
