Today, #Armenia's FM Ararat Mirzoyan discussed the further development of cooperation in the energy sector with #Iran's FM Hossein Amir Abdollahian in #Geneva. On February 14, #Russian Gazprom reduced the volume of gas sent to Armenia, announcing that the pipeline was blocked.
1/1 Until today, there was no official message from #Gazprom that the blockage has been removed. And that means that RA also consumes gas at the expense of warehouses. The gas pipeline coming from Iran is able to almost provide the internal demand of Armenia.
1/2 Armenia's SSC Armen Grigoryan said in response to our question that will find solutions and alternatives if it has problems in the gas sector.
1/3 Recently, Armenia doubled the volume of gas imported from Iran to Armenia within the framework of the Gas for Electricity program, but the pipeline is still not being used to its full extent.

#Lavrov said in 🇦🇿 that only people, humanitarian goods should be transported through the #LachinCorridor. He said that the installation of any checkpoint is not being considered there, but so that #Azerbaijan does not have any doubts about mines, they can install technical means
By technical means, Lavrov means the installation of scanners at the checkpoint of Russian peacekeepers.Lavrov's words mean that 🇷🇺 agrees with 🇦🇿 to change the statement of Nov 9, where Putin did not write about installing technical means, #Armenia did not agree to such a matter
No matter how much #Azerbaijan and #Russia discuss the issue of placing scanners, they cannot implement it without the agreement of 🇦🇲. Because that would mean the collapse of the arch. of the Nov 9, the loss of 🇷🇺's influence over 🇦🇲 in the process of resolving the NK conflict.
1/1 According to the #Stockholm-based International Peace Institute, #CSTO members Russia and Belarus are the first and third countries that supplied offensive weapons to Azerbaijan during the period of 2011-2020.
1/2 In those years, Azerbaijan received 67.2% of its imported weapons from Russia and #Belarus, which are declared allies of Armenia. During the same period, Azerbaijan imported only 2.9% of its ammunition from #Turkey.
Soon will be presented the book of the #Armenia's 3rd President #SerzhSargsyan - "On the Frontline of Negotiations". I'm not aware of what he wrote, but I know for sure that the obvious pro-Russian forces of 🇦🇲 do not forgive Sargsyan for signing the #SEPA with the #EU. #Yerevan
And in 2018, 7 days before his resignation, the #RepublicanParty of Armenia, led by him ratified the document with the #EU. In 2018, under severe threats from #Russia, Serzh Sargsyan founded the #EurasianEconomicUnion with #Putin.
However, due to active work, in November 2017, Armenia signed the #SEPA with the #EuropeanUnion. In 2013, Serzh Sargsyan made a big mistake, but in the end, he saved a chance for Armenia to go into deep cooperation with the #West after him.
