ments are contracted," informed Iran's national gas export company director, Nasrollah Seifi while saying that Iran-Swiss gas transfer would take place through the Turkey pipeline.
He went on to state that Austrian and Syrian companies also called for Iran's gas export contract. When asked by an ISNA reporter that if there was a possibility that Turkey would export Iran's gas to Israel, Seifi responded that Iran would make sure that the entire gas export amount to Turkey would be consumed only in that country.
"Also Iran's export is much lesser than what is estimated in the Iran-Turkey contract. For example, this year 9 billion cubic meters should be transferred to Turkey while the real amount transferred is something about 7 billion cubic meters and sometimes as Turkey reports, it downs to about 5 billion," he added.
He also noted the 10 billion cubic meters Iran-Turkey gas export and the 14 billion cubic meters Turkmenistan-Iran gas import.
"We've got an annual record of 4 billion cubic meters gas import. We predict that with the initiation of Iran-Armenia 0.5-3 billion cubic meters gas export, Iran's export and import become equally balanced," he concluded.
