Yesterday Armenia’s ex-president Robert Kocharyan visited Iran and had
a meeting with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is surprised at people who
sound astonished at Kocharyan’s visit to Iran.

"There is nothing extraordinary to be astonished at," Minister
Nalbandian said at his meeting with journalists on January 22.

"The matter concerns Kocharyan’s statement that Armenia is for
developing relations with Iran. It was stated when Robert Kocharyan
was Armenian President and is being stated now. Armenia seeks to
strengthen relations with its neighbour. Armenian-Iranian relations
are dynamically developing. Iranian FM Manouchehr Mottaki is expected
to arrive in Armenia on January 26. The Armenian-Iranian
intergovernmental commission will hold a meeting here," Nalbandian
said.

Asked how Kocharyan happened to visit Iran, Edward Nalbandian said:
"Mr. Kocharian paid a private visit to Iran at the invitation of
Iranian authorities, and the Armenian side was officially informed. I
see nothing extraordinary in the visit."
