    Tehran, Yerevan Discuss Ways to Promote Bilateral Ties


    Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and his Armenian
    counterpart Edward Nalbandian in a meeting here in Tehran conferred on
    ways to further improve bilateral relations and mutual cooperation
    between the two countries.

    During the talks on Wednesday, the two sides also discussed bilateral
    and international issues, as well as the latest development in
    Karabakh.

    "During the meeting, the Iranian foreign minister was informed of the
    latest developments regarding the Karabakh issue and Iran was praised
    for its role [in solving the dispute] since it has always taken a
    balanced stance," Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with
    Mottaki.

    Iran has already voiced its readiness to help resolve the territorial
    dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh
    region.

    Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohammad Baqer Bahrami announced in
    March this year that Azerbaijan and Armenia have both asked Iran to
    mediate in the dispute.

    "The two sides have accepted that Iran (should) utilize all the
    potential which exists in the region to help resolve the crisis in
    this region," the envoy said at the time.

    In addition to the Karabakh dispute, the Iranian and Armenian
    officials also discussed the implementation of agreements previously
    signed in various sectors including energy, electricity, trade,
    transportation and the oil industry.
