The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be resolved through peaceful
negotiations, in keeping with the international norms, Iranian
Ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Raiesi told Iran's Mehr news agency

"Armenia and Iran have centuries-old friendly relations based on good
neighborhood and mutual respect. Many mutual visits between senior
officials took place last year. The friendly relations between the two
countries, the will of their leaders as well as the similarity of their
positions on international and regional issues played an important role
for the development of the bilateral relations," Mohammad Raiesi said.
Armenian-Iranian relations have bright future aimed at establishment
of stability and peace in the region, Mohammad Raiesi said.
Referring to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Iranian envoy said,
"The Islamic Republic of Iran has always stood for peaceful resolution
of disputes and conflicts between the regional countries. Iran thinks
that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be resolved through peaceful
negotiations, in keeping with the international norms."
Commenting on the economic relations between Iran and Armenia, the
Iranian envoy said that last year goods turnover between Iran and
Armenia totaled about $340m. According to him, the current level of
goods turnover is not sufficient, so the leaders of the two countries
aim to increase it beyond $1bn.
