    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Armenian Minister of
    Energy and Natural Resources Armen Movsisian that Iran is eager to
    expand its cooperation with Armenia.

    Iran sees no obstacle in the way of boosting ties with Armenia at
    the highest level, Ahmadinejad said at a meeting with Movsisian in
    Tehran on Tuesday, IRNA reported.

    He pointed to his upcoming visit to Armenia and expressed hope that
    the two countries' officials would adopt appropriate strategies to
    consolidate their bilateral cooperation.

    Beginning on June 6, the Iranian president is scheduled to pay
    an official two-day visit to Armenia to discuss ways to expand
    Tehran-Yerevan relations in various spheres.

    The Armenian energy minister expressed optimism about the prospects
    for increased economic cooperation between Iran and Armenia and said
    the implementation of joint projects would be beneficial for the two
    countries and the region.

    The meeting came a day after Iran and Armenia inked memorandums of
    understanding in Tehran to expand economic ties in the energy, trade,
    banking, and transportation sectors.

    After signing the MOUs, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said,
    "In 2010, trade between Iran and Armenia increased by 38 percent,
    bilateral trade between the two sides currently stands at 270
    million dollars, and we are now the fourth biggest economic partner
    of Armenia."
