Sanctions imposed on Iran not to shadow positive sides of cooperation: Russian ambassador
Sanctions imposed on Iran do not impede the development of Russian-Iranian relations, Russia’s Ambassador to Armenia Sergey Kopirkin told the reporters on Tuesday.
“I am not an expert in Iran’s issues and cannot make any analyses regarding that country’s relations with Russia, but I can say that these relations are quite effective. Despite the negative impact, the sanctions cannot shadow the positive sides of the cooperation,” the ambassador said.
Referring to the ratification of EAEU-Iran free trade agreement by Iran the ambassador said the document will promote the development of cooperation.
“This document will create additional opportunities for cooperation,” Kopirkin said.
