TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian parliament supports development of relations
and mutual cooperation with Yerevan, Head of Iran-Armenia Parliamentary
Friendship Group Arsalan Fathipour said.
Fathipour made the remarks in a meeting with Armenian Envoy to Tehran
Grigor Arakelian on Tuesday, stressing the ample potentials in both
countries to expand bilateral relations and cooperation as well as
promotion of ties in different political, economic and cultural fields.
Noting that Iran enjoys abundant economic and tourism potentials to
strengthen the bilateral relations, he reiterated, "The economic
and industrial progresses and tourism attractions of the Islamic
Republic of Iran have created abundant potentials for the expansion
of bilateral ties which should be utilized through precise planning."
Araklian, for his part, expressed pleasure in the growing trend of
mutual cooperation between the two countries, and called for the
consolidation of economic exchanges in an effort to increase mutual
understanding and deepen all-out friendly relations.
He also laid emphasis on the importance of the development of
parliamentary relations between the two countries, and urged for an
increase in reciprocal visits by the two sides' legislators.
Iran and Armenia have expanded their bilateral relations in recent
years, specially in political, economic, trade and cultural fields.
Iran in early February held an international conference in Tehran on
introducing the trade and investment opportunities of Armenia during
which the Armenian and Iranian officials expressed the hope that the
relations between the two countries would further develop.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Amir Mansour Borqe'i called on
Iranian and Armenian officials to use all the existing potentials
and capabilities to increase trade ties and exchanges between the
two countries.
"Iran and Armenia should use all the existing potentials to expand
trade activities and mutual investment by the (two countries')
private sector," Borqe'i said.
Also, Senior Advisor to Armenian President Ahram Narsisian reiterated
at the time that Yerevan is seeking to promote relations with Iran.
Narsisian stressed the need for gathering a proper understanding
of the existing impediments to the further expansion of relations
between the two countries.
