    SUPREME LEADER:TIES BETWEEN IRAN, ARMENIA SHOULD BE BOLSTERED

    IRNA
    Apr 14, 2009

    Tehran, April 14, IRNA - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution
    Ayatollah Ali Khamenei here Tuesday termed ties between Iran and
    Armenia as very good and urged implementation of the agreements signed
    by the two countries.

    The Supreme Leader made the remark after receiving Armenian President
    Serzh Sarkisyn in Tehran on Tuesday.

    The Iranian government and nation have enthusiastically welcomed
    expansion of amicable ties with the Armenian nation and government,
    said the Supreme Leader and lauded the significant role of Armenian
    religious minority in Iran in various fields.

    "During the eight-year Sacred Defense, our Armenian people defended the
    Islamic Revolution shoulder to shoulder with their Muslim countrymen,"
    said Ayatollah Khamenei.

    Expansion of ties with neighboring countries will consolidate their
    bonds, said Ayatollah Khamenei, adding that the big powers under
    various excuses try to halt promotion of ties among countries of
    the region.

    Referring to the role of US and certain European countries in
    persuading Saddam to attack Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei said in most
    of wars or regional conflicts the hands of big powers can be seen
    just like the aggressions of the Zionist regime on Gaza and Lebanon
    perpetrated under US support.

    Saddam's failure in the imposed war on Iran and defeats of the Zionists
    in the 22-day war in Ga za and the 33-day war in Lebanon proved that
    foreigners' support bears no fruits, said Ayatollah Khamenei.

    The idea of establishing tranquility between Armenia and its neighbors
    is an excellent one which should be materialized, said the Supreme
    Leader.

    The Armenian president, for his part, conveyed the warm greetings of
    the Armenian people to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and
    voiced readiness to help broaden and bolster all-out ties with Iran.

    "We are quite sure of a bright and promising future for ties between
    the two nations," he said.

    The Islamic Republic of Iran has adopted a rational and logical
    approach to regional developments, he said, describing Iran as a
    country with firm determination.

    Referring to his talks with his Iranian counterpart, he said the
    talks were very successful and "We are determined to fully implement
    the agreements signed by the two parties."

    President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was also present in the meeting.
