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.

“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
