Iran's gas can be exported to Europe via Georgia and the Black Sea in the near future, according to the head of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA).

"Cooperation between the two countries (Iran and Armenia) is of special importance in energy security and in the near future, Iran's gas can be transferred to Europe via Georgia and Black Sea, said Gholam-Hossein Shafeie, reported Iran Daily, citing Fars News

He said Iran and Armenia have in recent years been strategic partners in the region.

Iran and Armenia, he noted, can cooperate in the exchange of technical and engineering services as well as in a number of other sectors such as energy, petrochemicals and dam building, among others.

He suggested the transportation of Armenian goods to other countries, especially China, India and Southeast Asia, via Iran's Persian Gulf ports.
