    and Iran with each other.

    The sides also referred to the steps to be conducted towards their
    implementation. They in details discussed the issues of regional
    security.

    Before visiting the Iranian President the NA Speaker visited
    the Iranian Parliament where the Speakers of Armenian and Iranian
    Parliaments Hovik Abrahamian and Ali Larijani signed a memorandum of
    mutual understanding.

    In the afternoon September 30 the Speaker of Armenian Parliament met
    the Speaker of Iraqi Parliament Ayad al Samara who was also paying
    visit to Tehran. Mr. Abrahamian pointed out to the traditional warm
    relations between Armenian and Iraqi people and suggested to ree h
    was broken as a result of the crisis in Iraq in 2003. The Speaker
    of Iraqi Parliament admitted the proposal. He highly assessed the
    role of Iraqi-Armenian community in the life of his state stressing
    that it can naturally contribute to the intercourse between the two
    states. In the morning September 30 the delegation headed by the
    NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamian visited the mausaleum of the founder of
    Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini. H. Abrahamian put flowers to
    his memory and made note in the book of the guests.

    on the memory stone to the victims of Armenian Genocide, then had a
    meeting with the representatives of Iranian-Armenian community.

    Referring to the process of regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations
    Mr. Abrahamian said: "We understand the trouble of our brothers
    and sisters in Diaspora. I assure you that the Armenian authorities
    will never allow the process of recognition of Armenian Genocide to
    be dependent upon Armenian-Turkish regulation. On the same way the
    conditioning of these relations with regulation of Artsakh issue is
    also unacceptable. Neither the recognition of the Armenian Genocide
    and nor the issue of free self-determination of Artsakh people are
    liable to bargaining.

    On September 30 a reception was organized in the "Ararat"
    sport-cultural complex of Tehran on the 18th anniversary of Armenian
    independence in which the delegation of Armenian Parliament also
    took part.
