Armenian Envoy: Ground Ready for Broadening Ties with Iran
TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Ambassador to Iran Grigor Arakelian underlined
abundant commonalities of the two nations, and said the ground is
prepared for the further expansion of the relations between Tehran and
Yerevan.
At present, the ground is properly paved for the expansion of all-out
ties between the two capitals, Arakelian told reporters at Tehran's
Saint Sarkis Cathedral on Thursday.
Iran and Armenia also enjoy very close cooperation at the
international organizations, he added.
Pointing to Armenia-Iran cordial relations, the diplomat called on
both countries to tap into their potentialities to enhance ties in
various sectors.
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 enhance ties in commerce and
economy.
In August, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani and his Armenian
counterpart Serzh Sargsian, in a meeting in Tehran, hailed the
friendly relations between the two neighboring states, and called for
the expansion of mutual cooperation in all arenas.
During the meeting, the Iranian president said that relations between
Iran and Armenia have been friendly based on mutual interests and
there is no doubt that the same trend will be continued in future to
help enhance the current level of relations and cooperation.
"Iran has always called for expansion of relations and cooperation
with Armenia thanks to both sides cultural and civilization
commonalities," Rouhani added.
"Armenia at international conferences has always adopted a very close
and friendly stand with Iran, which helps meet both sides' interests,"
Rouhani said.
The Armenian president, for his part, said that Iran and Armenia have
kept abreast of developments throughout history and in the past 20
years they developed economic cooperation.
"There is no doubt that ties and cooperation between the two countries
will be bolstered in line with the expansion of economic cooperation
during the tenure of president Rouhani," he said.
According to the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), around 1.5
billion cubic meters of natural gas has been traded with Armenian
electricity from 2007 to 2012.
