Larijani: Iran–Armenia strategic ties agreement ‘vital and necessary’
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council has hailed a planned strategic partnership agreement with Armenia as a “vital” step, saying the pact will help advance peace and stability in the region.
Ali Larijani made the statement in a meeting with his visiting Armenian counterpart Armen Grigoryan, in Tehran on Saturday.
The two sides reviewed bilateral cooperation across multiple fields and discussed the “Comprehensive Strategic Relations Document,” set to be signed in the “near future.”
During the closing session of Grigoryan’s one-day visit, Larijani emphasized that the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Relations Document between Tehran and Yerevan was “necessary, vital, and a factor that strengthens the discourse of peace in the region.”
For his part, the Armenian security chief noted that the document had been thoroughly discussed during his trip and would be signed by officials of the two countries in the near future.
“Armenia is eager to finalize the Comprehensive Strategic Relations Document with Iran,” Grigoryan stressed.
Expressing satisfaction with his meetings in Tehran, he described bilateral relations as “unprecedented” and said the purpose of his visit was to broaden cooperation between the two neighbors in all areas.
Elsewhere in the talks, Larijani reaffirmed Iran’s backing for peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan, underscoring the Islamic Republic’s commitment to regional stability.
“Iran opposes any geopolitical changes in the region and any harm to Tehran-Yerevan relations,” he said.
Larijani further underlined the importance of continuing cooperation with Armenia on completing the North-South Corridor and linking the Persian Gulf to the Black Sea.
