Egypt and Armenia discuss Iran’s nuclear program
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Armenian President Robert Kocharian and
President Hosni Mubarak discussed Iran’s nuclear program in Cairo on
Saturday.
"Their talks covered the Iranian nuclear issue, developments in the
region and the Persian Gulf. Armenia is particularly interested in
the nuclear file since it shares its southern frontier with Iran,"
Suleiman Awad told journalists.
Iran’s uranium enrichment program is for peaceful civilian purposes
and under the supervision of the UN atomic energy agency.
"Iraq also featured in the discussions, which covered regional
problems in Central Asia, particularly the conflict between Armenia
and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh," Awad said.
During Kocharian’s three-day visit, the interior ministers of both
countries are expected to sign accords on organized crime, judicial
cooperation and customs.
On Sunday, Kocharian was to meet the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar,
Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi
