Yerevan. 13 February: Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan and
the newly-appointed Iranian ambassador to Armenia, Ali Saghayan,
discussed prospects of developing relations between Armenia and Iran
in Yerevan today.

The two men pointed out that cooperation between the two countries in
spheres of transport and energy are dynamically developing, however,
there is a great potential for the development of relations in other
spheres too, such as culture, science, technology, education, art,
etc., the press service of the Armenian government has told Mediamax.

The Armenian prime minister noted that Iran has been and remains as
an important country for Armenia, and the friendly relations between
the two neighbours have centuries-old roots.

The Iranian ambassador said that he has repeatedly visited Armenia
before his appointment to this post and he is well-versed in the
processes under way in the country.

Saghayan noted that the level of trade-economic relations between Iran
and Armenia do not yet correspond to the high level of the political
cooperation between the two countries to which the sides should pay
special attention.
