Outgoing Armenian Ambassador to Iran Artashes Tumanyan met with Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Rostam Qasemi on Thursday, October 28.

In a statement on Friday, the Armenian Embassy in Iran said issues related to the construction of the alternative Goris-Kapan road, the North-South highway and Persian Gulf-Black Sea Transport Corridor were discussed during the meeting. The sides attached importance to the implementation of the projects. 

Noting that the construction of the alternative road connecting Goris and Kapan are nearing completion and that a large-scale road construction project will launch in Armenia in 2022, Ambassador Tumanyan attached importance to the opportunity for Iranian companies to participate in the project.

At the end of the meeting, Minister Qasemi expressed the willingness of the Iranian side for cooperation and thanked Artashes Tumanyan for the work done, expressing hope that the Armenian-Iranian cooperation will continue and new programs will be implemented.

Artashes Tumanyan has been recalled from his post and will be replaced by Arsen Avagyan.

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
