Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran discuss creating energy corridor

Tehran, Feb. 25 (MNA) – Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran are discussing the technical conditions of creating an energy corridor at the level of experts of energy companies, Russian Deputy Energy Minister Anatoly Yanovsky told Trend.

"Following the discussions, the sides will determine the economic efficiency of the functioning of this energy bridge and make a decision on the expediency of launching the project," he said.
