and underlined the necessity for the implementation of the recent
agreements on the construction of a third power transfer line and a
new power plant in Armenia.

the two countries' ties can bolster in line with the two nations'
interests," he said at the meeting with the Iranian vice-president
in Tehran on Monday.
