Iranian representatives included in a group on friendship with
Armenia have visited the South Caucasus republic and further
Azerbaijan's Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh region it occupies, Iranian ISNA
news agency reported.
The delegation reportedly held talks with Armenian business leaders to
discuss economic cooperation between the two countries. The Iranian
representatives said they were ready to invest in a slew of sectors of
Armenia's economy, including solar energy, the development of
communications, urban infrastructure, environmental protection, and
agriculture.
The members of the Iran-Armenia Friendship Society are expected to
stay in Armenia and Upper Garabagh until Friday.
Upper Garabagh has been occupied by Armenia since a 1994 cease-fire
ended separatist hostilities that killed an estimated 30,000 people
and ousted about one million Azerbaijanis from their homes. Armenia
continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani
districts in defiance of international law. Years of peace talks have
brought few tangible results.*
