IRAN TO CONTINUE NUCLEAR RESEARCH
- Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosian met Thursday with newly appointed Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Ali Saqayian, the RA NA press office reported. Congratulating the diplomat on the appointment, Mr Torosian said Armenia attaches importance to cooperation with Iran, specifically in transport and energy fields. Ambassador Saqayian assessed highly the Armenian-Iranian relations and again invited Mr Torosian to Tehran after the RA presidential election. He also briefed on development in Iran’s nuclear program. “Iran is not developing nuclear weapons,” the Ambassador said. “Despite IAEA statements and anti-Iranian resolution, our country will continue scientific research.” In this view the Armenian Speaker noted that all countries have equal rights and obligations fixed by international treaties.
