We should expand o
ur economic ties with Armenia, Iranian presidential candidate, Supreme Leader’s foreign policy adviser Ali Akbar Velayati was quoted as saying by ISNA.
The presidential candidate spoke about Iran’s foreign policy at a meeting with reporters on Tuesday, saying in part: “It is not right that ten visits are made to Latin America yearly while our neighbors are disregarded. Of our 15 neighbors, 13 are Islamic countries. Iran has much in common with Armenia and Russia in terms of history and therefore it should further develop bilateral relations with these countries. We should not rest on political relations but should also strengthen our economic ties.”
