Armenia-Iran partnership is favourable for the two countries and the
whole region, Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said today.

The relations inspire great prospects. We have achieved agreements
in the spheres of oil, gas, energy and transportation, he said.

A hydro-electric power station will be constructed on the river
Araks. The construction of the gas pipeline will be completed.

President Kocharian underlined that it is vital to "join the
substructures." Independent Armenia cares for the regional security,"
he said.

The RA President also highlighted the agreement on bank control
between the Armenian and Iranian central banks.

We must live side by side in a peaceful atmosphere. In our opinion all
problems can be solved via negotiations. We are against any tension
in the region. All complicated problems are soluble, Iran’s President
said in view of the Karabakh issue.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thanked Robert Kocharian for warm reception. The
parties laid a stress on bilateral relations.

During a joint conference Ahmadinejad said an Iran-Armenia highway
is due to open October 26 which will promote commodity circulation
between the countries under question.
