    TEHRAN (FNA)- High-ranking Iranian and Armenian officials in a meeting
    in Tehran underlined the necessity for the further expansion of the
    relations between the two countries in all arenas, specially in trade
    and tourism fields.

    During the meeting between Iranian Foreign Minster Mohammad Javad Zarif
    and Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan on Monday afternoon, the
    two officials exchanged views on the growing trend of the development
    of bilateral relations in all areas, specially in economic, trade,
    infrastructures and tourism fields, and underscored the necessity
    for removing the existing obstacles.

    They also called for continued reciprocal visits by Iranian and
    Armenian officials to consult and exchange views on the bilateral
    relations and other issues of mutual interest.

    Iran and Armenia have taken major strides towards widening and
    deepening of their relations in recent years, particularly in the
    economic sector.

    According to Iran's Commercial Attache in Yerevan Hamaiak Avadis Yanes,
    the trade turnover between the two neighboring countries hit $293mln
    in 2013.

    Iranian Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian and his Armenian counterpart
    Yervand Zakharian in a meeting in Tehran on Saturday voiced their
    countries' willingness to enhance bilateral relations, particularly
    in the energy exchange sector.

    During the meeting, Chitchian said that there has been good cooperation
    between the two countries over the past two decades in the field
    of energy.

    He said the two sides agreed to launch the third energy transfer line
    between Iran and Armenia and construction of two hydro-electric power
    plants on both sides of the Aras River.

    The Armenian minister, for his part, expressed the hope that work on
    the projects would begin soon.

    Zakharian said that once these projects come on stream, energy exchange
    between Iran and Armenia would increase two or three folds.
