    IRANIAN, ARMENIAN SPEAKERS CALL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF RELATIONS

    IRNA
    Oct 2011

    Bern, Switzerland, Oct 17, IRNA -- Visiting Iranian Parliament
    speaker Ali Larijani and Speaker of Armenian National Assembly Hovik
    Abrahamyan on Monday called for development of relations between the
    two countries.

    The two Speakers made the remark in a meeting held on the sidelines
    of the 125th Assembly of Inter-parliamentary Union underway in Bern,
    Switzerland.

    Parliamentary delegations from more than 120 member states have
    attended the IPU meeting in the Swiss city on October 16-20.

    "Iran is ready for expansion of relations with Armenia," Larijani
    underlined.

    The Armenian parliament speaker welcomed development of cooperation
    with Tehran especially in the field of trade and economy.

    Abrahamyan discussed with Larijani latest developments in Karabakh
    as well.

    Karabakh is a geographic region in southwestern Azerbaijan and eastern
    Armenia. The two countries have dispute over the control of the region.

    Speaker of Armenian National Assembly supported Iran's right for
    acquiring peaceful nuclear energy and criticized the negative
    propaganda of certain countries on Syria developments.

    Relations between Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran remain
    extremely cordial and both Armenia and Iran are strategic partners
    in the region. Armenia and Iran enjoy cultural and historical ties
    that go back thousands of years.

    There are no border disputes between the two countries and the
    Christian Armenian minority in Iran enjoys official recognition.

    Iran and Armenia would also cooperate in the field of energy security
    which lowers Armenia's dependence on Russia. The cooperation would
    lead in the future to supply Iranian gas to Europe through Georgia
    and the Black Sea.
