    SENIOR LAWMAKER: PARLIAMENTARY COOPERATION IMPROVES TIES BETWEEN IRAN, ARMENIA

    Fars News Agency, Iran
    June 27 2013

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security
    and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi underlined that
    increasing parliamentary cooperation between Tehran and Yerevan will
    strengthen economic relations between the two countries.

    Boroujerdi made the remarks in a meeting with Armenian ambassador to
    Iran Grigor Arakelyan on Wednesday.

    He termed the historical affinities between Iran and Armenia a base
    for further promotion of cooperation between the two countries, and
    added that parliamentary cooperation can help improve economic
    relations between Tehran and Yerevan.

    Arakelyan, for his part, said that Armenian government and parliament
    are determined to expand friendly relations with the Islamic Republic
    of Iran.

    Iran has long taken various diplomatic initiatives to expand its ties
    with the neighboring states.

    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.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
    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.

    In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
    Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters in
    New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
    issues.
