    Iran, Armenia Vow to Strengthen Economic Ties


    TEHRAN, Jan. 19 (MNA) - Tehran and Yerevan inked four Memoranda of
    Understanding (MoUs) on the enhancement of mutual economic cooperation
    during the visit of an Armenian trade delegation to Iran's
    Northwestern province of East Azarbaijan. The MoUs were signed during
    a meeting between East Azarbaijan's provincial officials and
    Governor-General of Armenia's Syunik province Suren Khachatrian and
    his accompanying delegation in Tabriz.

    East Azarbaijan and Syunik provinces will expand their mutual
    cooperation and bilateral ties through implementation of the MoUs.
    Based on the agreements, the two provinces will increase their
    interactions in the fields of cattle-breeding, veterinary, and
    establishment of joint agro companies. Also according to the
    agreements, Iran will supply Armenia with combine-harvesters,
    tractors, and fertilizers to Armenia. Armenia is a member of the World
    Trade Organization and its Gross Domestic Product hits $9.4bln.
    Armenia's per capita income is $5,700 and the volume of foreign
    investment in the country is $570 million. , Iran and Armenia
    announced that "they are planning to set up a new zone for joint
    economic interactions". The issue was raised in a meeting between
    Governor-General of Iran's Northwestern province of East Azarbaijan
    Alireza Beigi and Governor-General of Armenia's Syunik province Suren
    Khachatrian in Tabriz on Tuesday. "Establishment of a joint economic
    zone to share the two sides' different capacities was underlined in
    our recent visit to Armenia," Beigi said. He noted that Syunik
    province can utilize the capabilities of Iran's private industrial
    units in a bid to facilitate meeting its needs and also pave the way
    for the presence of East Azarbaijan's industrial products in the
    Russian markets. Last month, it was announced that Iran is studying a
    plan to set up a new zone for joint economic interaction with its
    Northern neighboring states of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The issue was
    raised during a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar
    Salehi and the East Azerbaijan's Governor-General.
