Pointing to the available potentials for the enhancement of
Iran-Armenia ties Ahmadinejad said that "Trade with neighbors is
always the best form of trade, which is beneficial both to the
establishment and promotion of security, peace and amity and to the
regional countries.
"Tehran-Yerevan ties could be enhanced promptly as Iran considers no
limits on its relations with Armenia," the president added.
Iran is keen to see world nations live in justice and amity, and if
there is any difference in opinions, it should be resolved through
dialogue, he said.
Earlier in the day, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi also
met with his Armenian counterpart in Tehran.
Salehi described Iran's ties with Armenia as "strategic," stressing the
need to continue negotiations on the expansion of bilateral relations.
He congratulated his counterpart on the 20th anniversary of the
Armenia's independence and described having good relations with
neighbors as one of Tehran's foreign policy priorities.
Salehi urged the continuation of negotiations with Armenia over mutual
issues and regional developments and expressed Iran's readiness to
cooperate with the Armenian government in the transportation and
energy sectors as well as in the fields of politics and culture.
Nalbandian, for his part, voiced satisfaction with Tehran-Yerevan
relations and formally invited the Iranian foreign minister to visit
Armenia.
The Armenian foreign minister also stressed the role of Iran in
establishing stability and security in Central Asia and discussed
the latest developments in the Caucasus, including the negotiations
between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Iran and Armenia have taken major strides towards promoting mutual
relations in the past few years.
The bilateral trade volume between the two states stands at nearly
$270 million, according to the Armenian foreign minister.
