TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Armenian ambassador to Tehran praised Iran's
industrial advancements, and voiced Yerevan's willingness to import
various products, including petrochemicals, from the Islamic Republic.
"Iran, as an advanced country, can be attractive in terms of its
industry and products to the nations around the world, including
Armenia," Grigor Arakelian told the Tasnim News Agency on Sunday.
"Given the fact that Armenia is one of Iran's neighbors, we can
witness a close cooperation between the two countries in the area of
economy," he added.
The Armenian diplomat went on to say that businesses like car and
agricultural industries and the products, on which Iran has a monopoly
in the region, are among the capacities of the country that are
attractive for the regional and neighboring countries.
He also commented on the obstacles in the way of promoting trade ties
between Iran and Armenia and said lack of infrastructure, particularly
road and railways, is one of the main problems for the transport of
goods between the two countries.
Arakelian also described Tehran-Yerevan cooperation in recent years as
good, and said, "Given Iran's good capacities in petrochemical
industry we are ready to promote cooperation in this area and (to that
end) we have also made specific suggestions."
Iran and Armenia have always enjoyed amicable relations in a whole
host of fields.
Back in May, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani highlighted the
expansion of trade ties with Armenia, saying the two countries'
private sectors can contribute to broadening of economic cooperation
between Tehran and Yerevan.
