Yerevan, 9 February: The construction of the Iran-Armenia railway
would create new possibilities for the development of economic
relations between the two countries, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister
Arman Kirakosyan told a news conference at the national press club
today.
Asked about the possibility of the construction of this railway,
Kirakosyan said that there are real grounds for this and that the
issue is being discussed. "There is no clear programme. But there is
a desire of both sides," Kirakosyan noted. He said that the issue of
the railway construction had been discussed during Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan's visit to Tehran in 2006.
Responding a question about the USA's possible attack against Iran and
Armenia's position in this regard, Kirakosyan voiced his hope that
events would not develop this way. "We hope that the situation will be
resolved through diplomatic efforts," Kirakosyan noted.
It must be noted that a representative of the White House stated
yesterday that the USA does not intend to attack Iran.
