    TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed
    that Tehran and Yerevan should utilize their abundant potentials to
    increase mutual cooperation in all areas.

    According to a statement released by the Presidential Press Office,
    Ahmadinejad made the remarks in a meeting with Armenian Foreign
    Minister Vartan Oskanian here on Sunday.

    During the meeting, Ahmadinejad noted the two countries' ties that are
    developing and deepening, and called for the utilization of all the
    potentials existing on both sides to further increase Tehran-Yerevan
    cooperation.

    He further viewed consolidated ties among neighboring states as an
    influential factor in the exaltation of regional nations, reiterating
    that the expansion of cooperation and communications among neighboring
    and regional countries, including Iran and Armenia, serves regional
    peace and security and progress of the two nations.

    Pointing to Iran-Armenia cooperation in various spheres, including
    transfer of energy and transportation, the Iranian president stressed
    the need for the speeding up of implementation of the two countries'
    mutual agreements, including those pertaining to the transfer of
    Iran's natural gas to Armenia via pipeline, which he said serves
    regional peace, friendship and development.

    For his part, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian assessed mutual
    exchange of visits by the two countries' officials as effective in
    the expansion of Tehran-Yerevan relations, and said that his country
    attaches special significance to the development of all-out ties
    with Iran.

    The top diplomat also stressed that construction and completion of
    the natural gas pipeline plays a vitally important role in securing
