Regnum, Russia
April 5 2006
“Iranian gas will begin to get into Armenia till the end of the current
year,” Armenian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Gegam Garibjanyan
is quoted as saying by a REGNUM correspondent at opening ceremony of
“Iran. Armenian Look” International Scientific-Practical Conference
at Russian-Armenian (Slavic) State University in Yerevan.
According to him, several agreements, including one on construction
of Iran-Armenia pipeline, signed during visit of Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan to Iran in December 2005, are priorities for the
republic. Also, Gegam Garibjanyan mentioned similarity of approaches
of Armenia and Iran to problems, which appears with neighboring
countries. “Despite nearly 10-year-long war with Iraq, Iran carries
out diplomatic policy with the country, not using experience of
military solution of problems,” stressed the deputy head of the
Armenian foreign ministry.
According to Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Iran
to Armenia Ali-Reza Hagigian, Iran emphasizes its relations with
Armenia in context of regional peace and economic development. In
its turn, Rector of the Armenian Slavic University Armen Darbinyan
mentioned importance of the opened conference, adding Armenia would
not forget Iranian humanitarian aid rendered during difficult years
of the economic blockade. Armenian scientists and analysts presented
their reports at the conference.
