TEHRAN (FNA)- Yerevan's Ambassador to Tehran Girgor Arakelian called
on Iran and Armenia to remove visa requirements in a move to
facilitate visits by the two countries' nationals.
"We hope that visa requirements will be annulled for the two
countries' citizens," said Arakelian in a meeting with the
governor-general of Iran's Northwestern province of East Azerbaijan on
Sunday.
Also at the meeting, the envoy noted the Iranian interior minister's
upcoming visit to Armenia in the next 15 days, and stressed that the
trip would further reinvigorate and develop ties between the two
neighboring states.
He also said that "the Iran-Armenia joint economic cooperation
commission will soon be set up in Yerevan", reiterating that his
country welcomes increased interaction and cooperation with Tehran.
Arakelian also voiced Armenia's willingness to boost cooperation
between the two countries' neighboring provinces as a useful move.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
coopration, 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.
