An Armenian consulate will be opened in Tabriz in northwestern Iran
in the near future, IRNA reported on 26 April.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister for consulate and parliamentary affairs,
Hasan Qashqavi, was quoted as saying that Turkey and the Republic
of Azerbaijan have already opened their consulates in Tabriz which
shows the importance of the province for Iran and for the region.

"A total of 510 Iranians imprisoned in foreign countries have been
released so far and hopefully 210 Iranians jailed in Iraq will also be
released shortly," Qashqavi said at a meeting with judiciary officials
of Iran’s East Azarbayjan Province in Tabriz on 26 April.
