Russia's plans to deepen relations with Iran fit well into Armenia's
political-economic North- South project, Head of Alternative Research
Center Tatul Manaseryan told ArmInfo on Friday.
He said that Armenia and Iran enjoy long-term strategic ties. "There
is also a trilateral Armenian-Iranian-Greek cooperation agreement. We
hope that as soon as the world community lifts its sanctions against
Iran, Armenian-Iranian ties will be deepened," Manaseryan said.
One of the key projects that may be implemented as soon as the embargo
is lifted is the reconstruction of the existing Armenia-Iran railway
and the construction of a new one under the North-South project.
Manaseryan believes that deeper relations with Iran will give Armenia
competitive advantages, particularly, ties with countries having
common political and economic interests. "In the last 2-3 decades
Iran has made a real technological breakthrough and is presently
implementing a number of high-tech economic projects. Unfortunately,
few people in Armenia are aware of this," Manaseryan said.
