Iran-Armenia ties have improved remarkably during 9th, 10th
government: IRNA chief
Managing Director of Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) Majid
Omidi-Shahraki said that Iran-Armenia ties and cooperation have
enhanced noticeably during the tenure of the ninth and tenth
governments.
In a meeting with Armenian Ambassador to Iran Gregor Araklian, he
added that Tehran-Yerevan ties have improved in recent years more than
before given the volume of economic and commercial exchanges.
Recalling the significance attached by Iran to regional states, he
noted that its policy is based on stability and peace in all
countries, especially its neighbors.
Referring to the efforts of the arrogant powers to prevent the spread
of unity among Muslims, Omidi-Shahraki added that enemies favor
insecurity in the region.
Iran's principled policy is to defend the rights of the oppressed, he
said, adding hat the Armenians have always lived in desirable
conditions in Iran and Iran's government considers itself duty-bound
to defend their rights.
Araklian, for his part, pointed to cultural commonalities between the
two countries and said that today Iran-Armenia ties are at the highest
level.
Despite the current atmosphere against Iran, Armenia has always
adopted stance close to that of Iran, he noted.
The ambassador also called for meeting between chiefs of the two
countries' news agencies, saying that such meetings will help expand
bilateral media cooperation.
