    TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
    said Tehran welcomes development of all-out ties with Armenia, in
    the spheres of transportation, culture, sports, tourism and energy
    in particular.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with his Armenian counterpart
    Robert Kocharian here on Wednesday, a statement released by the
    Presidential Press Office said.

    During the meeting, Ahmadinejad noted 6 rounds of successful joint
    cooperation commission meetings and said that the two countries also
    enjoy desirable and expandable cooperation in dealing with regional
    and international issues, expressing the hope that the visit to Tehran
    by the Armenian President would be a significant step ahead in further
    progress and reinvigoration of the two states' mutual relations.

    For his part, Armenian President Robert Kocharian expressed pleasure in
    visiting Tehran and said that it reminds him of beautiful reminiscences
    of the past, adding that his country and the Islamic Republic of Iran,
    fortunately, enjoy extensive relations.

    Reminding that the two states have so far endorsed 90 agreements
    on joint cooperation, he called for taking the steps required for
    gaining practical results from the previously held agreements.

    Kocharian also voiced Armenia's enthusiasm for developing cooperation
    with the Islamic Republic of Iran in various grounds, including energy,
    transportation, linking the two countries' railroads and increasing
    the two states' capacity of power exchange.

    He also extended an invitation to President Ahmadinejad to pay a visit
    to Armenia and attend the inaugural ceremony of some joint projects.

    The two sides are due to sign several cooperation agreements this
    afternoon.
