    United Arab Emirates

    Visiting Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian conferred on
    Tuesday with Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani on ways of expanding mutual
    relations as well as on regional developments.

    According to International Bureau and Protocol Department of Majlis, at
    the meeting Larijani described current ties between the two countries
    as very good and said that the two sides should spare no effort to
    bolster and broaden such ties.

    Given the historical ties and commonalties between the two nations,
    he said that such deep-rooted ties demand that both sides explore
    untapped potentials to expand bonds.

    Referring to the recent sensitive developments in the Caucasus region,
    he urged the countries in the region to exercise more vigilance.

    Recent developments in the Caucasus proved that the era of
    unilateralism is over, Larijani said.

    He called for the formation of regional pacts to deal with such
    developments in terms of security.

    Iranian Majlis is ready for any type of cooperation and coordination
    with countries in the region and Armenia in particular, he said.

    Iranian Majlis is prepared to further broaden and deepen parliamentary
    relations with Armenia, Larijani said while extending an invitation
    to his Armenia counterpart to pay an official visit to Iran.

    The Armenian foreign minister, for his part, described Iran as a big
    neighbor with significant role in regional developments and called
    for the expansion of cooperation in various sectors between the
    two countries.

    Iranian Majlis played a crucial role in the Islamic Revolution of
    Iran, he said and called for expanding parliamentary cooperation and
    ensuring a more active role of parliamentary friendship groups.

    Referring to the current developments in the Caucasus region, he
    said that it is vital for regional problems to be settled with the
    cooperation of countries in the region and called on foreign countries
    not to interfere in it.

    He also lauded the constructive role of Iran in the restoration of
    tranquility and stability in the region.

    In conclusion, at the meeting, the Armenian foreign minister extended
    an invitation from Armenian parliament speaker to Larijani to pay an
    official visit to the country.
