That is a very generous offer, and one we would gladly accept. However, shipments of Egyptian oil would have to pass through Turkey, which maintains an economic blockade against our country. We would prefer if Egypt were to apply diplomatic pressure to Turkey (and Azerbaijan) to end this blockade which despite our best efforts has in truth strangled the life out of the Armenian economy and impovershed our country.

Our plan to reduce our independence on energy imports is to utilize underground coal gasification in our undeveloped coal reserves. We hope to secure Russian aid in this endeavor.
