    Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran
    July 6 2006

    Visiting Armenian President Robert Kocharian, who is here at the head
    of a high-ranking delegation, conferred here Wednesday with President
    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on expansion of mutual cooperation.

    At the meeting, Ahmadinejad said the Islamic Republic of Iran and
    Armenia enjoy very good cooperation which should be boosted.

    In his meeting with the Armenian delegation, he said "We hope the
    current visit of the Armenian president to Tehran would serve as a
    big stride towards further development and expansion of all-out ties
    between the two countries."

    Iran welcomes expansion of mutual cooperation with Armenia in
    transportation, culture, sports, tourism and energy sectors,
    he underlined.

    Referring to successful holding of Iran-Armenia Joint Economic
    Commission meetings, he called on both sides to benefit from each
    other's untapped economic potentials.

    The Armenian president, for his part, expressed satisfaction with
    his current visit to Tehran and recalled the good memories of his
    last visit to the country.

    "Fortunately there are very good relations between Iran and Armenia,"
    he said, adding that some 90 MoUs on expansion of mutual cooperation
    have been inked by the two countries.

    The Armenian president extended an invitation to his Iranian
    counterpart to pay an official visit to the country and inaugurate
    various projects being implemented jointly by the two countries.

    He also underlined expansion of mutual cooperation in energy
    transportation, railroad and electricity sectors.

    The two presidents are to sign new documents on mutual cooperation
    in a special ceremony Wednesday afternoon in Tehran.

    President Kocharyan arrived here at the head of a high-ranking
    politico-economic delegation for a two-day official visit Wednesday
    morning.

    Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, Minister of Energy Armen
    Movsisyan and Deputy Foreign Minister Armen Kirakosian are accompanying
    the president in this visit.

    The Armenian president, during his two-day stay here, is scheduled
    to hold separate meetings with senior Iranian officials including
    Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
