Azernews: Armenia concerned about weak energy security

Armenia is keen to improve its energy security by diversifying energy sources and is exploring ways for this aim with international organizations.

The government's attempts to diversify energy sources have failed so far because the country's energy security fully depends on Russia.

Armenia sees no progress in the implementation of energy projects which are vitally important for the post-Soviet state.

Armenia's great hope for bright energy future is fading as its plans to construct a new power transmission line with Iran are unlikely to come true. The two neighboring countries had to suspend the construction of the third 400-kilovolt transmission line with a 400-kilovolt capacity due to financing problems resulted from Western sanctions imposed on Iran.
