    TEHRAN (FNA)- Deputy Head of Iran-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship
    Group George Vartan viewed Tehran and Yerevan as "strategic partners".

    "Armenia showed after the collapse of Soviet Union that it can be a
    strategic partner for Iran and has always defended Iran's stances in
    different international arena," Vartan told FNA on Tuesday, reminding
    strategic cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan.

    He further underlined that Iran and Armenia, as two friendly and
    neighboring countries, have a proper understanding of each other's
    realities on the international scene.

    The Iranian legislator noted the current visit to Tehran by Armenian
    president, and stressed that the two countries have enjoyed ascending
    and progressive relations in recent years.

    The Armenian president arrived in Tehran on Monday at the head of
    a high ranking delegation and was officially welcomed by Iranian
    President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

    Elsewhere, Vartan reminded Iran's stance on the Karabakh conflict,
    and added, "Iran has always announced that the Karabakh conflict must
    be resolve through diplomacy. Iran has always defended diplomatic moves
    (regarding the issue) and has also offered mediation."

    Meantime, Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan
    also in their meetings in Tehran this week assessed positively the
    results of talks on the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

    In their talks, Sargsyan thanked Ahmadinejad for Iran's constantly
    balanced approach in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
