Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan has said that Yerevan has a
resolve to boost deep-rooted ties with Iran as an important country.

In a meeting with the outgoing Iranian Ambassador to Yerevan Alireza
Haqiqian, the premier praised the growing trend of relations in all
fields, calling for the expansion of bilateral economic cooperation.

He added that joint projects including a gas pipeline and electricity
transfer network between Iran and Armenia, as well as construction of
a power station on the Aras River would improve the already-bright
prospects for bilateral cooperation and prepare the ground for
implementing major projects.

The Iranian ambassador said that Iranian and Armenian officials
have had good cooperation at the international level thanks to their
political will.
