I ran and Armenia traded 1.09 million tons of commodities worth $264 million during the first nine months of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2020-Jan. 19), registering a 29% decline in value compared with the similar period of last year, according to the co-chair of Iran-Armenia Chamber of Commerce.

“Iran’s exports amounted to 1.08 million tons worth $251.63 million, registering a 26% year-on-year fall,” Hervik Yarijanian was also quoted as saying by Fars News Agency.

The official added that imports stood at 5,619 tons worth $12.36 million.

Noting that Iran has ample capacity to boost trade with Armenia, the official said, “Trade expansion with Armenia facilitates our presence in the markets of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Eurasian Economic Union and Europe.” 

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
