TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iran’s Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said
Caucuses stability and security need to be strengthened through
regional approaches.

In a meeting with former Armenian President Robert Kocharian in
Tehran on Wednesday evening, Mottaki said Iran and Armenia are
historically tied.

He also said the current economic downturn is the result of faulty
economy ruling the world adding, "the crisis demonstrated that
approaches which have oriented from hypotheses after the World War
II can not be answerable and the world needs to adopt new economic
polices and diminish the role of the US currency in trade exchanges."

Kocharian on his part said, "we will do our best for expansion of
relations with Iran."

He also said the presence of foreign forces in Caucuses region is
damaging to stability and security of neighbors of Caucuses.

He added regional approaches are fitting for stability and growth.
