    YEREVAN. - No one, especially a diplomat, has the right to interfere
    with the relations between two states, Iranian Ambassador said.

    His comment came in response to comment on U.S. Ambassador's statement
    saying Washington is grateful to Armenia for observing the sanctions
    against Iran.

    "The United States are trying to create iranophobia. But the region
    knows about Iran's friendliness," Mohammad Raiesi said.

    Speaking about relations with Armenia, Iranian Ambassador said they
    are ready to cooperate on two key directions: railway construction
    and hydro power plant.

    "We have repeatedly said that Iran is ready to begin construction of
    the railway section as soon as Armenia begins construction on their
    side," he said.

    According to the diplomat, if the railway is constructed, around
    5,000 tourists from Iran will visit Armenia weekly.

    "For Iran, the construction of this railway is helpful but not
    necessary. However, we can help reduce the blockade of Armenia
    borders," he emphasized.

    As for the construction of power plants, the Iranian side has allocated
    $500 million.

    "In the context of sanctions against Iran this is a big amount.

    However, Iran is loyal to its commitments to neighbors," he said,
    adding the importance of ensuring energy security.
