Armenia Insists on Using Potentials to Develop Cooperation with Iran
TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Deputy Economy Minister Ara Petrosyan
underscored the necessity for using all the existing potentials to
further expand economic and trade cooperation with Iran.
"The Republic of Armenia attaches great importance to potentials for
economic cooperation with Iran," Petrosyan said, addressing
Iran-Armenia Trade Forum in Yerevan on Saturday.
He underlined the necessity for utilizing these potentials to further
increase cooperation between the two countries, and said, "Iran is the
fifth largest trade partner of Armenia and the volume of trade
transactions between the two countries is worth $300mln annually."
Petrosyan urged the two sides to boost efforts to double the volume of
the trade transactions between Iran and Armenia.
Iranian and Armenian trade officials in a meeting in Yerevan on
Wednesday signed a trade agreement.
The trade agreement was signed by the chairmen of the chambers of
commerce of Tehran and Yerevan in the Armenian capital.
Head of Tehran's Chamber of Commerce Yahya Al-e Eshaq, heading a
ranking trade delegation, travelled to Armenia to discuss bilateral
ties with the senior Armenian officials.
At the meeting, Head of Yerevan's Chamber of Commerce Robert
Haratounyan pointed to the current Iran-Armenia relations, and said
the Iranian delegation's visit to Armenia provides the two sides with
a good opportunity for boosting mutual cooperation between the two
countries.
Al-e Eshaq called for the further expansion of trade ties between Iran
and Armenia, saying that the Islamic Republic can open new horizons to
its Northern neighbor.
`Iran can open the doors to Armenia for the transit of goods to 14
neighboring countries,' Al-e Eshaq told Armen Press new agency.
Last month, Armenian Ambassador to Tehran Grigor Arakelyan urged
Tehran and Yerevan to further broaden their relations in different
areas.
Arakelyan made the call in a meeting with Chairman of the Iranian
Parliament's National Security and Foreign Relations Commission
Alaeddin Boroujerdi in Tehran.
`I hope that during the presidency of Iranian President-elect Hassan
Rouhani, Iran and Armenia will further expand their relations in all
fields,' the Armenian ambassador said.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
and economy.
