TEHRAN (FNA)- Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Armen
Movsisian praised Tehran for its assistance and cooperation with his
country in the development of Armenia’s energy sector.
Movsesian made the remarks, addressing a ceremony on start of
operation of a joint power plant on the Aras River on Iran-Armenia
border on Thursday.
Namjou, for his part, said that Iran will use all its capacities to
help Armenia improve its energy sector, and expressed his satisfaction
with the current level of amicable ties between Tehran and Yerevan.
Iran has long taken various diplomatic initiatives to expand its ties
with the neighboring states.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted
cooperation, signed agreements on energy cooperation and agreed to
cooperate in technology and research and to enhance ties in commerce
and economy.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Armenian counterpart
pledged in December 2011 to further expand “high-level relations”
between their nations and, in particular, give new impetus to the
implementation of joint energy projects that have fallen behind
schedule.
In early October, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his
Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian met at the UN Headquarters
in New York to discuss bilateral ties and regional and international
issues.
