Президент Рухани прибыл в Армению

В среду (21 декабря), с коротким официальным визитом в Армению прибыл президент Ирана Хасан Рухани. В аэропорту Звартноц в Ереване его приветствовал президент Армении Серж Саргсян и другие официальные лица.

Приветствуя своего иранского коллегу, президент Саргсян сказал:

"Для армянского народа, вы являетесь долгожданным и ценным гостем, и мы надеемся, что ваш первый официальный визит в качестве президента Исламской Республики Ирана придаст новый дух и новую жизнь нашему сотрудничеству. Армяно-иранское сотрудничество исходит из глубины веков, и на основе этого очень прочного фундамента мы сформировали наши межгосударственные отношения в 1992 году. Сегодня, спустя 25 лет, я очень рад утверждать, что на протяжении всего этого периода времени не было ничего, что могло бы бросить тень на наши отношения. Мы благодарны руководству Исламской Республики Иран за внимательное отношение к нашим взаоимотношениям. Мы всегда были правдивыми и честными в наших отношениях и готовы продолжать в том же духе."

Президент Рухани и президент Саргсян позже в президентском дворце в Ереване провели встречу тет-а-тет, а затем приняли участие в переговорах в расширенном формате с участием делегаций двух стран.

После визита в Армению, президент Рухани также намерен посетить Казахстан и Кыргызстан.
