TEHRAN (ISNA)-Armenian ambassador to Iran Grigor Arakelian said his
country believes Iran has dealt with Nagorno-Karabakh issue unbiasedly.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has already declared that Iran's
role in settlement of regional issues cannot be ignored, Iran took
charge of mediation in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in 1992 and the
first ceasefire between Azeri and Armenian nations declared by the
Islamic Republic of Iran, Arakelian told ISNA.
He added, "Armenian government is grateful to Iran for Nagorno-Karabakh
matter and it believes the Islamic Republic of Iran has acted
influentially in regional issues."
The ambassador went on to say that Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad is invited to visit Armenia and his trip takes place in
an appropriate time.
Meanwhile concerning Iran's nuclear issue, the Armenian diplomat said
the matter needs to be settled through talks.
Regarding the volume of financial exchanges between the two countries,
Arakelian said, "the amount totaling 200 million dollars needs to
be increased."
As to electricity exchange between the two countries, he said
Armenia is building the third high-voltage power transfer line to
send electricity to Iran.
A hydro-power plant is going to be built on Aras River bordering Iran
and Armenia so that the two sides could use it jointly, he added.
Grigor Arakelian continued, Armenia is to receive gas from Iran in
return for power.
