    LONDON, June 16 (IranMania) - Iranian Education Minister Morteza Haji
    met with Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markarian on Wednesday to
    discuss issues of mutual interest.

    The Armenian premier expressed his deep concern over the recent
    terrorist attacks in Iran and the martyrdom of a number of Iranian
    civilians, Iran Daily reported.

    Markarian noted that Iran and Armenia have a record of bilateral
    collaboration, stressing that Tehran and Yerevan should expand their
    relations in educational and scientific fields.

    Referring to expansion of economic cooperation between Iran and
    Armenia, Markarian asserted that implementation of big economic
    projects will positively influence regional relations.

    Haji, for his part, noted that enhanced scientific and educational
    cooperation between the two countries is very significant. He also
    noted that the activities of the Center for Iranian Studies in Armenia
    should be qualitatively improved. Haji is presently on a three-day
    tour to Armenia.

    In another meeting with the head of Armenia's Presidential
    Office, Artash Tumanyan and the Armenian co-chair of the joint
    economic commission, Haji placed special focus on closer bilateral
    interactions. He stressed the role of Iran-Armenia Economic Commission
    in strengthening mutual relations.

    The Armenian official referred to the importance of Haji's visit
    to his country and referred to the growing trend of bilateral ties
    as positive.

    He urged the need to expand collaboration in the domains of science
    and research within the framework of the joint economic commission.

    Tumanyan maintained that Iran's significant regional status is of great
    importance in Armenia's foreign relations. "Since a considerable number
    of Iranian students are currently studying in Armenian universities,
    special attention should be paid to broadening cooperation in the
    field," he concluded.
