    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan says Yerevan is interested in
    expanding relations with Tehran despite US-engineered moves to
    downgrade diplomatic ties between the two countries.

    Addressing a large crowd of people in the southern Armenian city of
    Meghri on Thursday, Sargsyan said Armenia attaches great significance
    to the development of ties with Iran.

    He also expressed gratitude over Iran~Rs active and efficient
    cooperation with Armenia, and praised the Islamic Republic for its
    readiness to implement joint projects with its northern neighbor.

    The Armenian president stated that Yerevan will seek to further
    enhance its relations will Iran, particularly in the field of business
    interactions.

    Sargsyan went on to say that a section of the North-South Corridor,
    which is located on the Armenian soil will be finished by 2017,
    connecting Armenia, Iran and Georgia, and opening up new trade
    opportunities between the two countries.

    The volume of trade between Iran and Armenia reached USD270 million
    in 2010. The figure now reportedly stands at USD300 million. The two
    countries have taken major strides over the past 20 years toward the
    expansion of economic ties, especially in the energy sector.
