Iranian nation has always had intimate relations with the Armenian
expatriates in Iran and across the world."
The Iranian foreign minister, meantime, pointed to cooperation among
Iran, Russia and Armenia in the construction of a railway network
between the two countries, and said, "I hope that the executive works
of this project will be expedited."

officials have been very constructive and effective."

removed."
