Iranian foreign minister: EEU is an opportunity to develop cooperation
“Armenia’s membership of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is a good opportunity to further develop cooperation with Armenia. We are prepared to take advantage of the opportunity of cooperating in all the directions,” Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a press conference in Yerevan today.
In his words, the EEU opens up possibilities of expanding cooperation between Iran, Armenia and Russia. “We will use all the possibilities, and the EEU is one of them,” Javad Zarif said.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said for his part that Armenia explores the possibilities of using its membership in the EEU in order to promote ties not only with EEU member states, but also with its neighbors and traditional partners.
