Armenian Envoy Asks for Further Bolstering of All-Out Ties with Iran
TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Ambassador to Tehran Grigor Arakelyan
underlined the good and close relations between Tehran and Yerevan,
and called for the further expansion of bilateral ties, specially in
economic fields.
"Given its cultural commonalities and age-old and historical relations
with Iran, Armenia can further develop and expand the two nations'
common cultural and intellectual grounds," Arakelyan said in a meeting
with Deputy Governor-General of Iran's Western Kermanshah province
Jalal Mankarsi on Sunday.
He named Iran as the 7th largest trade partner of Armenia, and
expressed the hope that the meetings he holds with different Iranian
officials would lead to the further expansion of ties and cooperation
between the two countries and a further increase in their economic,
trade and cultural exchanges.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
pledged in December 2011 to further expand "high-level relations"
between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus to the
implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters in
New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
issues.
