TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Tuesday hailed the recent parliamentary elections in Armenia as part of a trend towards democratic changes in the neighboring country, the Foreign Ministry website reported.

In a statement, Qassemi expressed the hope that Iran and Armenia could increasingly strengthen their mutual relations following the participation of the Armenians in general elections and subsequent formation of the new government there. 

Establishing ties with all neighboring states has a very significant and decisive position in Iran’s foreign policy and helps establish peace, stability, prosperity and security in all regional states, he added.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
