    Yerevan, 26 October: President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan in a meeting
    with visiting Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namju here Friday [26

    According to IRNA, the Media Office of the Armenian Republic
    Presidential Office further quoted President Sargsyan in his meeting
    with the Iranian Head of the State Commission for Iran-Armenia
    Cooperation, "I am sure this commission plays a major role in
    expansion of bilateral cooperation in various political, economic and
    cultural fields."

    beneficial relations with its neighbour Iran and this would naturally
    lead and contribute to the growth of our bilateral economic ties."

    The Armenian president expressed satisfaction over the growing trend
    of Iran-Armenian relations, arguing, "The two countries' ties are
    expanding permanently and in near future the completion of Moqri
    Hydroelectric Power Plant over Aras River and its being put to use
    would be another example of the fruitful Iran-Armenia cooperation."

    The Islamic Republic of Iran Energy Minister and Iranian Head of the
    State Commission for Iran-Armenia Cooperation Majid Namju, too, said
    in the meeting, "The session of the State Commission for Iran-Armenia
    Cooperation have always been convened successfully and exactly on

    Cooperation I would spare no effort aimed at materializing the
    achieved agreements in the course of the recent meeting between the
    presidents of the two friend countries."
