Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan said here on Sunday that Armenia
supports Iran's "civilian nuclear program," Iranian Students news

Baghdasaryan made his remarks during his visit with his Iranian
counterpart Saeed Jalili.
The United States, Israel and their Western allies accuse Iran of
secretly developing nuclear weapons, but Iran insists that its nuclear
program is only for generating electricity.
He urged the expansion of ties between Iran and Armenia on a
multiple grounds of "economic, diplomatic, defense and security
relations."
Meanwhile, Baghdasaryan also called on Iran to actively cooperate
in Caucasus security, the report said.
Caucasus suffers the two unsettled conflicts, one is between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, the other is Russia and Georgia. Iran has made
several attempts to have a role in the region's hot issue.
"Iran's basic policy seeks practical support for promoting
regional peace and preventing crisis," Jalili said, adding that
"cross-regional forces' interference only creates crisis and regional
issues need to be settled only by regional countries," according to
ISNA.
