FM Off to Yerevan to Attend Armenian President's Inauguration Ceremony
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi left Tehran
for Yerevan on Monday to attend the inauguration ceremony of President
Serzh Sargsian and also discuss the latest bilateral and regional
developments with Armenian officials.
On 14 March 2013, Armenia's Constitutional Court confirmed the victory
of President Sargsian who won the presidential election on February
18.
The Iranian foreign minister, heading a high-ranking delegation,
departed for the Armenian capital on Monday afternoon.
Salehi is slated to hold talks with Armenian officials on the
sidelines of the inauguration ceremony to be held for President
Sargsian in Yerevan.
Earlier this year, President Sargsian appreciated Tehran for its
effective mutual cooperation with Yerevan, and underlined his
country's enthusiasm for the further expansion of ties with Iran.
Sargsian appreciated Tehran for its effective bilateral cooperation
with Yerevan during the past years.
He said that his country "attaches great importance to expansion of
relations with Iran" despite efforts made by the US-led western states
to reduce Tehran-Yerevan ties.
Addressing people in the Armenian city of Meghri, President Sargsian
said "Armenia will continue efforts" to promote bilateral cooperation
with Iran.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have 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 President 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.
