ARMENIAN PRESIDENT TO TRAVEL TO IRAN FOR TALKS
Jerusalem Post

Iran's disputed nuclear program and natural gas supplies will likely
top the agenda when Armenian President Robert Kocharian meets his
Iranian counterpart in Teheran on Wednesday.
Pressure is mounting on Iran to respond positively to an international
package of incentives aimed at defusing the standoff over its nuclear
program. Western nations have threatened to reactivate efforts to
seek punitive UN Security Council sanctions unless it suspends uranium
enrichment and agrees to talks by July 12.
A statement by Kocharian's press service made no mention of the
issue. Reached by telephone in Teheran, presidential spokesman Viktor
Sogmonian refused to say whether the two leaders would be discussing
the standoff.
