Armenian Ambassador to Tehran Says Iran is a Close Friend of Armenia
Armenian Ambassador to Tehran Artashes Tumanyan called bilateral relations between Tehran and Yerevan as ''historical'', calling for efforts to strengthen the ties in all spheres, economy in particular, Iranian News Agency Tasnim reports.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Tehran, Tumanyan said the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has great economic infrastructures, is a close friend of Armenia.
However, he said, bilateral trade between the two nations are at a low level as the volume of trade between the two countries does not exceed $300 million per year.
''We have good relations with Iran’s chambers of commerce,'' the Armenian diplomat noted, but said the two sides need to know each other better.
Armenia announced in early June that it has approved signing an agreement with Iran to abolish the visa regime between the two countries.
