Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has stressed the importance of
his country's bilateral relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran,
saying that the enhancement of ties with Tehran is among Yerevan's
top foreign policy priorities.
Sargsyan discussed the development of mutual ties between Iran and
Armenia during a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Yerevan Mohammad
Ra'eesi on Wednesday.
The two sides also talked about the construction of a hydropower
plant in the southern Armenian city of Meghri, a third Armenia-Iran
high-voltage power transmission line, and the details of projects
for a railroad and an oil pipeline.
Sargsyan stated that the implementation of these projects is of
paramount significance to the Armenian government and that Yerevan
will spare no effort to bring them online.
Ra'eesi, for his part, said Iran attaches great importance to the
promotion of ties with neighboring Armenia.
He further noted that the development of cooperation with Armenia
in various spheres, particularly in the fields of energy and the
transportation of commodities, is a priority for Iran's foreign policy.
In a meeting with visiting Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh
Kocharyan in Tehran on December 15, 2013, Iranian Foreign Minister
Mohammad Javad Zarif hailed the "longstanding" and "friendly" relations
between Iran and neighboring Armenia.
"Iran's new administration attaches special significance to the
expansion of ties with neighbors and we are willing to bolster these
relations more than before," said the Iranian top diplomat.
