It wouldn’t be right for us to say something until it’s not completed. Let’s wait for the results, but whatever the case it's going to be beneficial for both countries,” the ambassador told reporters. He said that one of the important topics discussed during the 17th Armenian-Iranian Inter-Governmental Session were the energy agreements, including gas swap.
