Armenia has welcomed the agreement reached between Iran and six world
powers regarding the Islamic Republic's nuclear program.
The five-day talks between Iran and top representatives of the
so-called P5+1 group - the United Kingdom, China, France, Russia, the
United States, and Germany - ended on Sunday in a `historic' deal that
is hoped to open a way for a comprehensive settlement of the problem.
`We welcome the agreement reached in Geneva on Iran's nuclear program.
This is good news not only for the region but for the whole
international community,' said Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in
an official statement disseminated by his press office.
`Armenia has always advocated a negotiated, peaceful solution of the
issue. Although the agreement reached is of interim nature, it paves
the way for a comprehensive settlement through efforts of all
negotiating parties,' Nalbandian emphasized.
Iran is a major trade and economic partner of Armenia and one of its
two (out of four) neighbors that have an open border with it. Experts
say that settlement of relations between the West and Iran may also
have positive effects on Armenia's regional standing.
