    ARMENIAN OFFICIAL CALLS FOR BOOSTING TIES WITH IRAN

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior Armenian provincial officials in a meeting
    with their Iranian counterparts called for the enhancement of mutual
    cooperation between the two states.

    Governor-General of Armenia's Armavir province Ashot Ghahramanyan in a
    meeting with the Governor-General of Iran's East Azarbaijan province,
    Ahmad Alireza-Beigi, in Tabriz on Wednesday, urged further expansion
    and development of bilateral ties and cooperation between the two
    countries in all the various fields.

    Ghahramanyan further pointed out that "the friendly ties between Iran
    and Armenia are in no way harmful to any third country and only serve
    the interests of the two nations".

    Alireza-Beigi, for his part, said that Iran is ready to supply Armenia
    with technical know-how in different industrial fields and boost its
    cooperation with that country in different economic and trade areas.

    "The two sides should transfer their different potentials and
    facilities to their private sectors in a bid to expedite expansion
    of their ties," Alireza-Beigi added.

    Armavir is one of the 11 Armenian provinces located in the West of
    that country, adjacent to Iran's Northwestern East Azarbaijan province.

    In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
    cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
    cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
    and economy.

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
    pledged in December 2011 to further expand "high-level relations"
    between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus to the
    implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
    schedule.

    In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
    Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters
    in New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
    issues.
