    TEHRAN (Tasnim) - A delegation of Armenian lawmakers plans to pay
    a visit to Tehran on Saturday to meet senior Iranian parliamentary
    officials.

    Parliament Speaker's Adviser for International Affairs Hossein
    Sheikholeslam told the Tasnim News Agency on Thursday that the
    three-member Armenian delegation will hold a meeting with the Iranian
    Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, among their meetings with Iranian
    parliamentarians.

    The Armenian delegation will be headed by MP Galost Sahakyan, he added.

    The delegateion will discuss ways to enhance parliamentary cooperation
    and improve bilateral ties between the two neighboring countries,
    the adviser stated.

    In addition to a pipeline that brings Iranian natural gas into Armenia,
    the two states have implemented a number of other multi-million dollar
    energy projects.

    They include the construction of two hydro-electric plants on a river
    at the Armenian-Iranian border, a third high-voltage transmission
    line linking the two countries' power grids and dams, among other
    projects to be technically engineered by Iranian experts.

    In addition, the Armenian and Iranian governments have been working
    on a bilateral free trade agreement that was signed at the end of
    the year 2007.

    The Armenian government is building a second, bigger highway leading
    to the Iranian border in the hope of boosting trade with Iran.
