Tehran, Yerevan urge pursuing economic agreements

Head of Export Promotion and Logistics at the Ministry of Energy Hamid Reza Tashayoei said during the meeting held in Yerevan that a joint committee should be set up to pursue implementation of the agreements signed earlier.

Executive agreements should be based on the two sides’ needs and capabilities and have timetable, so that their implementation would be felt until the next meeting, he said.

He also underlined the quality of the agreements, saying that quantity of the documents is not as important as their quality.

The Iranian official proposed establishing five working committees to help accelerate implementation of the deals.

Armenian Energy Minister's Advisor Ara Simonian, for his part, said that last year his country tried to pursue the implementation of the deals.

The Armenian prime minister visited Iran in October and major agreements were reached during his stay in Tehran, he said, complaining that existing capabilities are not used for continuing bilateral cooperation.
