TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar lauded
the close and age-old ties between Iran and Armenia, and stressed
that the friendly relations between the two neighboring states have
set a role model for the other countries.
"The friendly relations between Iran and Armenia are rooted in the
two nations' old civilization and can be a capital for the further
deepening of ties and establishment of brilliant relations and set a
role model for the other neighboring countries," Mohammad Najjar said,
speaking to reporters prior to his visit to Yerevan this morning.
"Fortunately the two countries' relations are very vast, friendly
and durable and the two states' authorities are determined to promote
all-out ties. The two nations, too, enjoy historical interests, good
neighborliness and the political, economic and social ties are very
well," the Iranian minister added.
Reiterating that nothing can undermine the two countries' relations,
the Iranian minister said, "In addition, Iran and Armenia's borders
are borders of peace and stability. People of the two countries have
a positive look at each other."
In similar remarks on Sunday, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister for
Security and Law Enforcement Affairs Ali Abdollahi had said that Iran
and Armenia plan to further increase mutual cooperation in security,
counter-terrorism and anti-narcotics fields.
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.
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.
