RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan received the Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Armenia Alireza
Haqiqyan, who is completing his diplomatic mission in our country.
Appreciating the considerable progress in the Armenian-Iranian
relations in the political, economic, cultural and other spheres,
the Prime Minister particularly emphasized the Ambassador’s personal
contribution over the past four years of his tenure in office and
thanked Mr. Haqiqyan for his efforts in the direction of reinforcing
the relations between the two countries and peoples.
Serge Sargsyan noted that neighboring Iran is a very important country
for Armenia, and the Armenian side is willing to continue deepening
the centuries-old friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation
with that country. He attached importance to the development of
cooperation especially in the economic sphere, which has really serious
bases. According to Serge Sargsyan, the projects already accomplished,
i.e. the Iran-Armenian gas pipeline, the high-tension power lines,
the construction of a Hydro-Electric Power Plant on Araks River and
others, provide the basis for looking into the future of bilateral
cooperation with confidence.
Ambassador Alireza Haqiqyan expressed gratitude for the warm words
and used the opportunity to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year to Armenia and the Armenian people and wished success in the new
year. Noting that the wish to develop the relations on all levels
is reciprocal, Ambassador Haqiqyan expressed confidence that the
cooperation will continue with the same success in the future.
The Iranian Ambassador noted that he is leaving Armenia with good
impressions and memories and thanked the Armenian authorities ,
including the Government and the Prime Minister, for the support and
willingness to cooperate.
At the end of the meeting Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan wished success
to Alireza Haqiqyan in his future mission.
