TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar hailed
a new era of security cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan after
signing a comprehensive security agreement with Armenian officials.
Iran and Armenia signed a security agreement on Tuesday to increase
their cooperation in the fields of fighting organized crimes, drug
smuggling, security-law enforcement issues and border affairs.
During the ceremony to sign the agreement, Mohammad Najjar pointed
to the developing trend of cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan,
and underlined that a new chapter of security cooperation has begun
between the two countries.
He expressed Iran's readiness to transfer experiences in the fields
of fight against drug smuggling, training police officers and custom
experts, organized crimes, repatriation of criminals and convicted
persons, and said that the signed agreement will be a desirable
framework for cooperation between the two countries.
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.
