Sargsyan said that Armenia is making efforts to develop and extend the relations with Iran in all spheres: “But our American and European partners are not satisfied with this.”

The Armenian president underlined that his country’s friendship with Iran is not contrary to the relations with its strategic partner Russia: “The integration into Russia and the CIS countries has nothing to do with the relations between Armenia and Iran. We don’t see the development of the relations with these countries as an obstacle to the extension of the relations with Tehran. Armenia aims to enhance the relations and current ties with Iran. The relations between the two countries are being extended and the construction of Mehri hydroelectric power station over Araz is an obvious example of it.”
