Armenia stands for resolution of Iran nuclear issue through talks

“Armenian-Iranian relations are developing dynamically, we cooperate in economic sphere implementing joint economic programs, particularly, in energy and transport spheres. We have active contacts, mutual visits, I have visited Iran lately, our Prime Minister is set to visit Iran, Iranian parliament Speaker Mr. Larijani was in Armenia the other day,” Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said in response to correspondents’ question of whether Armenia joins sanctions against Iran.

The Minister stressed our relations with Iran are mutually beneficial and we are going to further develop them.

“As to sanctions, naturally, all member states of UN should respect resolutions of the United Nations Security Council, according to UN Regulations. We do not think a resolution is possible through use of force or through sanctions.

We hope for agreement and resolution over Iran nuclear issue through talks, with combined efforts of Iran and international community,” Nalbandyan said.
