Iran will soon start constructing Ayni hydroelectric power
station on the Zarafshan River in Tajikistan, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar
Salehi said on Friday during his visit to Tajik capital of Dushanbeh. (IRNA, 28
March)
Iranian engineers have developed a feasibility study for
the 240-megawatt hydroelectric power station. Iranians have already built
another hydroelectric power plant over the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan. That
project will be formally inaugurated later this week.
