Iranian and Armenian culture ministers on Tuesday called for expansion
of cultural relations and cooperation, IRNA reported.
Minister of Culture and the Islamic Guidance Mohammad Hosseini told
Armenian Culture Minister Hasmik Poghosyan in Tehran that Armenian
people are interested in the Persian language and a large number of
them annually learn the language. Recently, he added, a number of
Armenians have travelled to Iran to advance their knowledge on Persian.
Hosseini said cultural and arts exchanges between Iranian and
Armenian people are at a very good level and the visits paid by
two countries' presidents to either country helped enhance level of
political cooperation.
He noted that as far as global and regional issues, especially Syria,
are concerned, Iran and Armenia have taken a similar stance.
Hosseini said that Iran and Armenia stress that crisis in Syria
should be settled through dialogue without foreign intervention and
the Syrian people should decide their fate.
Hosseini said a new chapter has opened in Tehran-Yerevan cultural
relations after opening of Iran's cultural office in Yerevan.
He thanked Armenian culture minister for supporting Iran's cultural
activities in Armenia and said recently a group of Iranian drama
scriptwriters had travelled to Armenia and they were happy with
Armenians' warm hospitality during they stay in the Republic.
