Yerevan: Regional problems needed to be solved by regional states

Tehran, Aug 17, IRNA
Iran-Armenia-Movsisyan

Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said here Sunday that regional
problems should be solved by regional states themselves.

Movsisiyan, telling Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki that
Tehran-Yerevan ties serve both sides’ interests, hailed Iran as a
country with an `undeniable’ role in regional arrangements.

He hoped that during upcoming visit of Armenian foreign minister to
Tehran, Iran and Armenia will strive to work out a mechanism for
drawing necessary strategies for more consultations between Iran and
the Caucasus states.

Mottaki said Caucasus is a region of high significance and Iran and
Armenia can in cooperation with other regional states reach a formula
for restoration of peace and stability there.

He said holding meetings to pool regional states’ views in connection
with regional issues will be helpful.
