    Iran, Armenia determined to upgrade economic cooperation



    Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Wednesday that the Islamic
    Republic of Iran and Armenia are determined to enhance level of
    political, economic and cultural cooperation.

    Mottaki made the remarks in a joint press conference with his Armenian
    counterpart Eduard Nalbandian in Tehran.

    He said that Iran-Armenia Joint Economic Commission has been held for
    several times and Tehran is scheduled to host its ninth round.

    Mottaki said that the Iranian and Armenian high ranking officials
    regularly consult on mutual, regional and international developments.

    'Iran has implemented several infrastructural projects in transport
    and energy sectors in Armenia.'

    He said that the two sides have identical stand on global developments
    and that Tehran and Yerevan always back each other at international
    organizations.

    The Armenian foreign minister, for his part, expressed satisfaction
    over his visit to Iran and said the two countries have similar stand
    on regional and international issues and seek to further deepen
    bilateral ties.

    Iran and Armenia are currently involved in implementing various
    development projects in energy and transport sectors, he said.

    The Armenian foreign minister said that he is scheduled to meet with
    the Iranian president and will deliver him a message from Armenian
    president.

    Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said that Iranian nuclear program
    is under full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency
    and no part is hidden from the UN nuclear agency.

    Mottaki made the remarks in a joint press conference with his Armenian
    counterpart Eduard Nalbandian in Tehran.

    He said that Iranian nuclear program is transparent and it is the most
    transparent file at the IAEA.

    Much to our regret, such a transparent dossier has been geared in
    political games by some very specific countries who always lodge
    repeated allegations against Iran, he said.

    IAEA in all its reports has underlined non-diversion of Iran's nuclear
    program from civilian path, he said.

    On the IAEA proposal on fuel swap with the western suppliers to
    provide 20 percent fuel for Tehran medical research reactor, Mottaki
    said that the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to deliver 3.5 percent
    enriched uranium in return for 20 percent fuel.
