Armenia has extradited twelve Iranian convicts who wished to serve
their prison sentences at home to Iran.
The decision came as an act of good will in response to the Iranian
embassy's request.
Twelve Iranian nationals, including eleven men and a woman, were
convicted in Armenia on various criminal charges such as contraband
and illegal trade in drugs and psychotropic agents, the Armenian
Justice Ministry said.
Armenia and Iran signed an agreement on legal cooperation on civilian
and criminal cases in Teheran on July 5, 2006. At present, Yerevan and
Teheran are engaged in consultations on a draft treaty for extradition
of convicts.
