Armenia has requested an increase in the volume of natural gas supplies from Iran, APA reports.

According to Armenian media, the issue was discussed today at a meeting of the Armenia-Iran intergovernmental commission held in Yerevan.

Iranian Vice President Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi told journalists that his country possesses large gas reserves.

"You probably know that Iran has some of the largest gas reserves in the world. If there is an opportunity to export this gas, could there be a better partner than Armenia?" he noted.

Currently, more than 400 million cubic meters of natural gas are transported from Iran to Armenia annually. This volume is used at some thermal power plants in Armenia and accounts for approximately 20% of the country's total natural gas imports.
