Envoy Asks Iran, Armenia to Waive Visa Requirements
Fars News Agency :: Envoy Asks Iran, Armenia to Waive Visa Requirements
TEHRAN (FNA)- Yerevan's Ambassador to Tehran Girgor Arakelian called on Iran and Armenia to remove visa requirements in a move to facilitate visits by the two countries' nationals.
"We hope that visa requirements will be annulled for the two countries' citizens," said Arakelian in a meeting with the governor-general of Iran's Northwestern province of East Azerbaijan on Sunday.
Also at the meeting, the envoy noted the Iranian interior minister's upcoming visit to Armenia in the next 15 days, and stressed that the trip would further reinvigorate and develop ties between the two neighboring states.
He also said that "the Iran-Armenia joint economic cooperation commission will soon be set up in Yerevan", reiterating that his country welcomes increased interaction and cooperation with Tehran.
Arakelian also voiced Armenia's willingness to boost cooperation between the two countries' neighboring provinces as a useful move.
In recent years, Iran and its Northern neighbor Armenia have boosted coopration, 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 Serzh Sargsian 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.
