    ENVOY: IRAN, ARMENIA TO FURTHER PROMOTE BILATERAL TIES IN FUTURE

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Envoy to Tehran Grigor Araklian underlined
    that cooperation between Iran and his country serves the interests
    of both nations, and foresaw bright prospects for the two countries'
    bilateral ties.

    "There is a good prospect for cooperation between Iran and Armenia,"
    Araklian said in an exclusive interview with FNA on Wednesday.

    Noting that Tehran and Yerevan have performed abundant joint activities
    in economic, cultural and industrial fields since his country declared
    independence 18 years ago, he stressed the need for the two neighboring
    countries to launch cooperation in all fields.

    Meantime, Araklian said that the two sides' cooperation has always
    been moving on an upward trend, reminding that Tehran and Yerevan have
    endorsed over 200 cooperation agreements during the last two decades.

    Referring to a number of obstacles in the way of the two countries'
    relations, he reiterated that Armenia enjoys an open economic system
    but certain rules in Iran have made it difficult for Armenian companies
    to run activity in the country.

    "If both countries become members of an international economic body
    (like WTO), it would render much help to the expansion of their
    relations," he added.

    Iran on Tuesday held an international conference in Tehran on
    introducing the trade and investment opportunities of Armenia during
    which the Armenian and Iranian officials expressed the hope that the
    relations between the two countries would further develop.

    Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Amir Mansour Borqe'i called on
    Iranian and Armenian officials to use all the existing potentials
    and capabilities to increase trade ties and exchanges between the
    two countries.

    "Iran and Armenia should use all the existing potentials to expand
    commercial activities and mutual investment by the (two countries')
    private sector," Borqe'i said.

    Also, Senior Advisor to Armenian President Ahram Narsisian reiterated
    that Yerevan is seeking to promote relations with Iran.

    Narsisian stressed the necessity of a proper understanding of the
    existing impediments to expansion of relations between the two
    countries.
