ARMENIAN FM ARRIVES IN IRANIAN CAPITAL FOR TALKS
Press TV, Iran
May 5 2014
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is in Tehran for talks with
senior Iranian authorities on issues of bilateral and international
significance.
Heading a high-ranking political delegation, Nalbandian on Monday
arrived in the Iranian capital of Tehran, where he is slated
to exchange views with Iranian officials on the enhancement of
Tehran-Yerevan ties as well as the latest regional and international
developments.
The top Armenian diplomat is scheduled to sit down with Iranian
President Hassan Rouhani, his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad
Zarif and other ranking officials during his stay.
In August 2013, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan made an official
visit to the Islamic Republic and met with President Rouhani. The two
sides stressed the need for the further expansion of Tehran-Yerevan
relations in different areas.
Last December, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan
also visited the Islamic Republic and held talks with the Iranian
foreign minister.
Over the past years, Iran and Armenia have taken major strides towards
promoting mutual relations, particularly in the energy sector.
In 2012, Iran exchanged some 481 million cubic meters of gas with
the neighboring country's electricity, the largest amount of barter
between Iran and Armenia in six years.
