Sari, Mazandaran prov, May 24, IRNA
Armenian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Samuel Avetisyan, here at the
head of an economic delegation, on Tuesday reiterated the need to
broaden Iran-Armenia economic relations.
Avetisyan, who is currently visiting Mazandaran province, in a
meeting with the provincial governor general, Mohammad Ali Panjeh
Fouladgaran, added that after disintegration of the former Soviet
Union some of the national facilities were undermined.
He further underlined the firm determination of Armenian officials to
consolidate the country's economy.
Turning to the infrastructural measures taken across Mazandaran
province in the field of fishery, he underlined the great impact of
the sector on the Caspian Sea status which is unique in its kind.
"Remarkable success has been observed across the province in the
domain of cattle breeding and horticulture, while Armenia has failed
to make any progress in the related grounds," he added.
For his part, Fouladgaran referred to some of the provincial
potentials in the fields of agriculture, cattle breeding,
horticulture and tourism and declared the readiness of the officials
to export the goods produced in the province to other countries
including Armenia.
"Meanwhile, we are prepared to cooperate with Armenia in the
indicated domains and announced readiness to facilitate investment in
the province by Armenian tradesmen," he added.
The official pointed to Amirabad and Noshahr ports on the Caspian Sea
via which goods are transited and declared and said this can be used
by the Central Asian states, particularly Armenia, to supply their
requirements from Iran or other regional countries.
