Iran is entitled to acquire nuclear technology for civilian purposes,
Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, Tigran Torosian says.

All countries are entitled to use nuclear energy within the framework
of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Torosian in a
meeting with Iran’s Ambassador to Armenia, Ali Saqayian.

The two sides also slammed Western powers’ approach to nuclear
programs of other countries, a statement by Iran’s Embassy in Armenia
said.

The Iranian Ambassador, for his part, invited the Armenian official
to visit Tehran.

Saqayian expressed hope that meetings and talks between Iranian and
Armenian senior officials will boost the two nations’ ties.
