TEHRAN, Fars News Agency (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
on Sunday stressed the necessity of preparing proper conditions for
free trade activities along Iran-Armenia borders in a bid to
facilitate trade interactions and exchanges between the two
neighboring nations.

“Preparing conditions for free trade activities at the two countries’
borders will remarkably aid in facilitating trade exchanges and
traders’ visits,” Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with visiting Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian here in Tehran today.

“Consultations and expansion of cooperation between Iranian and
Armenian officials will facilitate implementation of agreements and
daily development of the two countries’ relations,” Ahmadinejad
stated.

He further described as much important the two countries’ joint
projects, including construction of a gas pipeline, electricity
transmission line, railroad, a pipeline to transfer oil products and
two hydro-electric plants.

Nalbandian, for his part, called for Iran’s support and the transfer
of Iran’s experiences to Armenia in different fields.

He also submitted a written message from Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan to President Ahmadinejad.

In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have signed
agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to cooperate in technology
and research and to enhance ties in commerce and economy.
