President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks to reporters.
Iran's President Ahmadinejad has termed the outcome of his visit to
Armenia and the agreements signed as very good and constructive.
Speaking to reporters at Tehran Mehrabad International Airport upon
his return Tuesday, Ahmadinejad said that both Iran and Armenia have
a common stance on efforts made to reinforce stability, security and
peace in the region and remove tension through discussion.
"Tehran and Yerevan have concerns about ongoing situations in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Palestine and stressed the speedy settlement of woes
and the restoration of tranquility and security based on justice,"
he said.
Pointing to bilateral economic cooperation between the two neighbors,
he added that both parties called for following up strategic projects,
including construction of railways, refineries and gas and power
transfer lines.
He stated that Iran and Armenia agreed to build a dam and power plant
on the Aras River to make optimal use of its water power.
The President said Tehran and Yerevan enjoy growing, sustainable ties,
adding that during his talks with his Armenian counterpart Robert
Kocharian and other senior officials, the sides discussed far-ranging
issues of interest.
The two countries signed memoranda of understanding in economic,
banking, consular, joint investment, energy and electricity transfer
fields.
"The Iranian and Armenian officials have a resolve to expand relations
and cooperation," Ahmadinejad said.
