    TEHRAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
    said Wednesday afternoon Iran and Armenia have reached an agreement
    to accelerate implementation of joint projects.

    In a joint press conference with the visiting Armenian President
    Robert Kocharian, Ahmadinejad described his counterpart's visit to
    Tehran as 'positive' adding also the two countries have agreed on
    different cooperation fields, including legal, cultural, economic
    and investment issues.

    He expressed hope that the visit prove a big step in developing
    bilateral ties saying he discussed with Kocharian mutual relations
    and world issues apart from bilateral cooperation in different
    fields. Ahmadinejad described Iran-Armenia relations as 'historical,
    friendly, sustainable and comprehensive' and added there are a lot
    of commonalities which connect both nations. Armenian president
    appreciated Iran's government and nation for their warm hospitality
    as well as friendly meetings he had in Tehran.

    Kocharian said there have been one hundred agreements between the
    two countries so far, which prepared an appropriate ground to develop
    ties. He stressed that although the two countries have cultural and
    historical commonalities, but the new round of relations started just
    15 years ago after Armenia became independent, and in this concern
    both countries have tried hard to prepare a desirable and proper
    situation to develop relations.

    Iranian and Armenian officials signed up seven Memorandum of
    Understanding (MoU) in the fields of energy, economic and industrial
    infrastructures, legal and cultural heritage cooperation on July 5. The
    MoUs were signed by officials in the presence of President Mahmoud
    Ahmadinejad and the visiting Armenian president Robert Kocharian.

    For one document, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and his
    Armenian counterpart Vartan Oskanian signed an MoU concerning Iran's
    development aids in the field of industrial and economic infrastructure
    for Armenia.

    In another MoU, Energy Minister Parviz Fattah and Armen Movsisyan
    signed a cooperation agreement in the field of energy. The two
    countries agreed in another document to cooperate in the field of
    legal issues.

    Iran's Justice Minister Jamal Karimi-rad and Armenian Foreign Minister
    Vartan Oskanian inked an agreement about extraditing criminals.
