Armenian FM Thanks Iran's Balanced Stance on Karabakh
TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian praised the Islamic Republic of Iran for its balanced views and stances on the Nagorno-Karabakh disputes between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Nalbandian made the remarks during a press conference after a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi here in Tehran on Saturday.
The Armenian top diplomat appreciated the Islamic Republic of Iran for presenting proper and balanced views on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, and expressed the hope that Tehran would maintain the same stance and continue presenting such positive views in future.
He further perceived positive and bright prospects for Tehran-Yerevan relations, and stressed that the two countries' ties and cooperation would promote in future.
Nalbandian stated that during his meeting with Salehi, he invited his Iranian counterpart to pay a visit to Armenia.
Iran and Armenia have taken major strides to promote their bilateral relations in the last few years. The bilateral trade volume between the two states stands at nearly $270 million, a figure that is expected to rapidly climb in a near future, according to officials.
Iran and Armenia have mainly expanded cooperation in power and gas swap in recent years.
Iran mainly exports natural gas to Armenia and imports power supplies from the Caucasian state through two transfer lines with a total power transfer capacity of 220kw/ph at present.
Iranian Minister of Energy Majid Namjou announced in June that the two countries would increase swap of electricity once the third power transmission line is complete.
