Visiting Iranian FM Discusses Tehran-Yerevan Ties With Armenian Counterpart

Tuesday 27th January, 2015

Visiting Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif on January 27 discussed
bilateral ties with his Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandian.

At a joint press conference after the talks in Yerevan, Zarif said
Armenia’s joining Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union this month had
opened new opportunities for Tehran to develop ties with Russia via
Armenia.

Zarif said Iran hopes a problem related to Russia’s delivery of S-300
air defense missile systems to Tehran will be solved soon.

In 2007, Tehran signed an $800 million deal with Moscow for the
delivery of six sets of S-300 air defense missile systems.

However, in 2010 the contract was frozen due to the UN Security
Council’s decision to impose sanctions on Iran.
