| The United States might be trying to isolate Iran internationally, but that hasn't stopped Armenia from deepening its ties with its neighbor to the south. During a visit to Armenia, Iranian President Mohammad Khatami said that Tehran-Yerevan cooperation will promote mutual interest, regional security and stability. Khatami met with the secretary of the Armenian National Security Council, Serzh Sarkisian. Khatami stressed that Iran supports Armenia, believing that mutual cooperation can help development and security in the Caucasus. Sarkisian voiced his hopes for further expansion of bilateral relations, commenting that cooperation in the fields of culture, education and economy is in the interest of regional security. Linking the railways of the two neighboring countries would be effective in establishing the north-south corridor, Sarkisian added. |
