/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Transeuroenegery Corporation, Canada, will launch exploring works to search for oil and gas fields in three Armenian regions – Armavir, Krasny and Shoghaghbyur. “I am sure there are oil and gas deposits in Armenia,” said Head of the Corporation Armenian Office Mike Smith. “Why should not Armenia have oil and gas, if all neighbors have them? In the past, in my opinion, Armenia was not lucky and prospecting works were not a success. However I am sure Armenia has oil and gas deposits,” he remarked. According to Smith, scholars searched for oil in Armenia already in 70s of the past century. “This did not pursue commercial goals, while we are ready to introduce the necessary technical equipment and get the responses to the questions of interest,” Smith said.

The Canadian Corporation has concluded an agreement with an exploration company, which is ready to transport modern equipment to Armenia. “This equipment will allow exploring the bowels at the depth of 2500 meters, while causing minimal damage and getting the maximal outcome,” Mike Smith said. In his words, works will start in September, while the and first results will be ready in February 2007, reports RFE/RL.

Armenia does have oil deposits but only enough for local consumption and not enough for export. The building of the gas pipeline via Iran should help ease the blockade.

there is a pipeline in turkey we already built it. you can use it. actually you want to use it.. but somehow you cant... do you think that Iran will help you as they are more fundamentalist than us. or perhaps you will pay more them to get through... you are used to pay something to other nation. it is always the most important part of your plans... no offense please

Iran and Armenia are at the moment constructing a gas pipeline and Armenia is providing electricity back to Iran. Armenia is not part of the current Trans-Caspian pipeline and has been blockaded by your country so accordingly Armenia has made other arrangements and assumes at this point that both diplomatic and economic relations with Turkey are not going to be in picture. It is certainly not easy for Armenia, landlocked and with two Turkish neighbors, but with each passing year it continues to develop in spite of this.

In order for Armenia to be part of the Trans-Caspian pipeline, they would have had to sacrifice Artsakh and sell their soul to the Devil. No thanks.

If Armenia can develop its own petroleum resources, albeit small, for domestic consumption, they'll be fine. Iran is certainly fundamentalist but their relations with Armenia are good and quite normal.
