Oct 29 2007
An Armenian lawmaker said on Monday that the Islamic Republic of Iran
can play a decisive role in bolstering peace and stability in the
region. Making the remark at the 15th International Seminar on the
Central Asia and Caucasus, Stepan Zackaryan referred to historical and
cultural commonalties between Iran and Armenia, saying that Tehran
has had appropriate and enhanced cooperation with Yerevan since
the independence of Armenia. Zackaryan further pointed to the NATO
performance in the Central Asia region, saying that some regional
countries have lost their trust in NATO because of discriminatory
behaviors of the western states. If international regulations give the
opportunity to certain powers to violate them easily, other nations
will definitely disagree with global treaties including NATO Treaty,
Zackaryan added. The 15th International Seminar on Central Asia and
Caucasus was held in participation of ambassadors, researchers and
thinkers from 25 countries at Iran’s Foreign Ministry Research Center.
