IRNA
Oct 2011
Bern, Switzerland, Oct 17, IRNA -- Visiting Iranian Parliament
speaker Ali Larijani and Speaker of Armenian National Assembly Hovik
Abrahamyan on Monday called for development of relations between the
two countries.
The two Speakers made the remark in a meeting held on the sidelines
of the 125th Assembly of Inter-parliamentary Union underway in Bern,
Switzerland.
Parliamentary delegations from more than 120 member states have
attended the IPU meeting in the Swiss city on October 16-20.
"Iran is ready for expansion of relations with Armenia," Larijani
underlined.
The Armenian parliament speaker welcomed development of cooperation
with Tehran especially in the field of trade and economy.
Abrahamyan discussed with Larijani latest developments in Karabakh
as well.
Karabakh is a geographic region in southwestern Azerbaijan and eastern
Armenia. The two countries have dispute over the control of the region.
Speaker of Armenian National Assembly supported Iran's right for
acquiring peaceful nuclear energy and criticized the negative
propaganda of certain countries on Syria developments.
Relations between Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran remain
extremely cordial and both Armenia and Iran are strategic partners
in the region. Armenia and Iran enjoy cultural and historical ties
that go back thousands of years.
There are no border disputes between the two countries and the
Christian Armenian minority in Iran enjoys official recognition.
Iran and Armenia would also cooperate in the field of energy security
which lowers Armenia's dependence on Russia. The cooperation would
lead in the future to supply Iranian gas to Europe through Georgia
and the Black Sea.
