    NAM foreign ministerial conference, Tehran

    Iran's Foreign Minister Mottaki has underscored the importance of
    peace initiatives brought up at the Non-Aligned Movement conference.

    "New ideas about peace, the prevention of war and the economic
    development of member countries are introduced during NAM gatherings,"
    Manouchehr Mottaki said in a Wednesday meeting with Armenian Deputy
    Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanian.

    "These ideas can be very important for the international community,"
    he added.

    The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 15th Foreign Ministerial
    Conference of the Non-Aligned Movement in Tehran which has brought
    together representatives from over 110 member countries and officials
    from several other observer countries, such as Armenia.

    During the meeting, Mottaki also described Iran, Armenia, Turkey,
    and Azerbaijan as key regional states, while Gharibjanian of Armenia,
    a mainly Christian country, thanked Iran for its efforts to have three
    historic Iranian churches included on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

    On the sidelines of the conference, Mottaki also met with his Turkmen
    counterpart Rasit Meredow, where he put forward a proposal to transfer
    Turkmenistan's gas to Europe via Iran.

    Meredow also said Tehran and Ashgabat are working together on various
    economic, trade, energy, and transport ventures.
