    IRAN, ARMENIA SIGN AGREEMENT ON AIR TRANSPORTATION

    FARS News Agency, Iran
    May 24, 2014 Saturday

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran and Armenia inked a Memorandum of Understanding
    (MoU) on increasing their cooperation in air transportation.

    The MoU which is an effort to remove the obstacles standing in the
    way of air transportation between the two countries was endorsed
    by Armenia's Deputy Economy Minister Sergei Avetisyan and Director
    Iran's Civil Aviation Organization for Legal and International Affairs
    Mohmmad Saeed Sharafi. The agreement will lift restrictions on the
    number of flights, capacities and routes, enabling Iran and Armenia to
    create a favorable atmosphere of free competition for their airlines
    and promote bilateral relations between the two countries in area
    of civil aviation. Iran and Armenia have taken major strides toward
    promoting their bilateral relations in recent years, particularly in
    the economic sector.

    According to Iran's Commercial Attaché in Yerevan Hamaiak Avadis
    Yanes, the trade turnover between the two neighboring countries hit
    USD 293 million in 2013. In August, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani
    and his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsian, in a meeting in Tehran,
    called for the expansion of mutual cooperation in all arenas. During
    the meeting, the Iranian president said that relations between Iran
    and Armenia have been friendly based on mutual interests and there
    is no doubt that the same trend will be continued in future to help
    enhance the current level of relations and cooperation. "Iran has
    always called for expansion of relations and cooperation with Armenia
    thanks to both sides cultural and civilization commonalities," Rouhani
    added. "Armenia at international conferences has always adopted a
    very close and friendly stand with Iran, which helps meet both sides'
    interests," Rouhani said. The Armenian president, for his part, said
    that Iran and Armenia have kept abreast of developments throughout
    history and in the past 20 years they developed economic cooperation.

    "There is no doubt that ties and cooperation between the two countries
    will be bolstered in line with the expansion of economic cooperation
    during the tenure of president Rouhani," he said. According to the
    National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), around 1.5 billion cubic meters
    of natural gas has been traded with Armenian electricity from 2007
    to 2012.
