    On September 11, Mr. Tigran Torosyan, the President of the National
    Assembly of the Republic of Armenia had a private talk with Mr.

    Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, the President of Majlis (Parliament) of the
    Islamic Republic of Iran, who arrived in Armenia with an official
    visit. The meeting was attended by the ambassadors of two countries,
    Mr. Arman Kirakosyan, Deputy Foreign Minister, as well as other
    officials.

    Welcoming his partner, the President of the National Assembly expressed
    his satisfaction that after the independence of Armenia it is the
    first time that the President of the Majlis of the Islamic Republic
    of Iran (IRI) visits Armenia: also he expressed his surprise that
    during the past 15 years it is the first time that the Parliament
    President of the friendly and neighbouring country visits Armenia:
    Both sides explained that fact with the existence of really friendly
    relations, during which political, economic, cultural problems have
    not occurred. Touching upon the past 15 years, Mr. Torosyan noted that
    the centuries-long neighbour has been the most effective partner,
    especially during the hard and difficult years for Armenia, when
    the country appeared in the blockade. In connection with bilateral
    relations the Parliament President highlighted the energy cooperation,
    emphasizing the projects of the main pipeline and hydroelectric
    station that are under construction on the river Araks, and the third
    line of high voltage electric communication. The President of the
    National Assembly expressed his gratitude to the President of IRI
    Majlis for kind attitude towards the Armenian Iranians. Touching upon
    the developments around the Iranian nuclear programme, Mr. Torosyan
    expressed a hope that the further problems will be solved through
    negotiations.

    Mr. Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel assessed the inter-state relations an
    exemplary one saying that after the visits of the Presidents of two
    countries they entered into new stage of development. He noted that
    the Armenians in Iran are permanently treated with respect and the
    proof is the presence of two MPs in Majlis. Mr. Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel
    considered necessary to deepen and develop the inter-parliamentary
    relations, as it is an important and inseparable component in
    inter-state relations.

    After the private talk a meeting of the delegation headed by
    Mr. Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, the President of IRI Majlis and
    Mr. Torosyan, the President of the National Assembly, Vahan
    Hovhannisyan, NA Vice President, representatives of Standing
    Committees, factions and groups was held, which was attended by the
    ambassadors of two countries and other officials.

    Highlighting the visit of the President of IRI Majlis to Armenia,
    Mr. Torosyan noted that during the last years the inter-state
    relations have been activated, to which the mutual visits
    contribute, and expressed confidence that the visit is a basis for
    deepening inter-parliamentary relations. The Parliament President
    highlighted the balanced and restrained stance in Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict. Mr. Torosyan touched upon also the assiduous attitude
    towards the monuments of Armenian culture in IRI, in contrast with
    the other neighbour, which simply annihilates those monuments.

    Mr. Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel highlighted the friendly relations of two
    states in the regional aspect, noting that though the two countries
    have religious difference, but there are numerous similarities.

    During the last thirty years for his country assessing the Islamic
    revolution of Iran and the collapse of the USSR the most important
    event in the region, as a result of which, new states were formed near
    the northern borders of Iran, the Majlis President noted that the
    foreign policy of his country relies on Islam, which does not allow
    to form the foreign policy for the sake of a group by contradicting
    with another one. He highlighted the strengthening of relations with
    Armenia, the cooperation in the sphere of energy and noted that his
    country is for the peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh problem and
    continuation of the negotiations of the Presidents of two countries.

    During the meeting other issues were also discussed.

    The members of the delegation headed by Mr. Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel,
    the President of Majlis of the Islamic Republic of Iran met with
    Armenia-Iran Parliamentary Friendship Group in the parliament.

    Welcoming the guests, Galust Sahakyan, Head of Armenia-Iran
    Parliamentary Friendship Group, noted that the political and
    economic ties between the two countries get strengthened, the
    inter-parliamentary friendship deepens, and the Armenian-Iranian
    friendly relations will get a new impetus with this visit and will
    obtain new level. It was noted that the year 2006 is a fruitful
    year in the aspect of cooperation between the parliaments of two
    countries: recently the Armenian parliamentarians have been to Iran
    with a working visit, important meetings were held, as a result of
    which the inter-parliamentary relations have been more deepened and
    strengthened. It was emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran
    pursues balanced policy in the region, has always been a good neighbor
    for Armenia and today all possibilities of deepening the relationship
    in political, economic and scientific-cultural spheres are available.

    Gevorg Vardan, Co-Chair of Iran-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship
    Group, highlighted the deepening of partnership of two countries and
    parliaments, noting that the inter-parliamentary ties have reached
    the level of economic relations. It was noted that from now on RA-IRI
    friendly relations will deepen and promote the welfare of of two
    countries and people. It was noted that pursuing balanced policy,
    Iran is for peace and stability in the world and region.
