Iran, Armenia to Improve Security Cooperation
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran and Armenia plan to further increase mutual
cooperation in security, counter-terrorism and anti-narcotics fields,
a senior Iranian interior ministry official announced.
Speaking before his departure for Armenian capital city of Yerevan on
Saturday, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Law
Enforcement Affairs Ali Abdollahi said that the two neighboring
countries intend to increase their security cooperation.
Abdollahi further expressed Iran's readiness to transfer its
experience to neighboring countries such as Armenia in the fields of
training police forces and fighting drugs, terrorism and organized
crimes.
Elsewhere, the Iranian official voiced the Islamic Republic of Iran's
support for peace and security in the region, and stated that Tehran
has made its utmost efforts to establish regional peace and security.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran's policy regarding neighboring countries
has always been one of strengthening and expanding relations, and
therefore, Iran's borders with neighboring countries have always been
the borders of peace and friendship," he said.
Iran has long taken various diplomatic initiatives to expand its ties
with the neighboring states.
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
Serzh Sargsian 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.
