Iranian President expected to visit Armenia: ambassadorJuly 24, 2015 - 17:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "Our Vice President will soon visit Armenia. We hope that official visits will help increase trade turnover," Raiesi said. Bilateral talks between Yerevan and Tehran have intensified, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia, Mohammad Raiesi said, according to Tert.am. "Our Vice President will soon visit Armenia. We hope that official visits will help increase trade turnover," he said in response to a question on whether Iranian-Armenian talks will strengthen as a result of the agreement, reached on Iran’s nuclear program. The ambassador added that Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani may also visit Yerevan by the end of the year. Raiesi assured that relations with Armenia will never be of secondary importance to Tehran. "Armenia plays a vital role in the region. We have been having difficulties during the recent years, but we look forward to the successful completion of negotiations," he said. A comprehensive deal on Iran’s nuclear program has been reached, bringing to an end a 12-year standoff that had threatened to trigger a new war in the Middle East, and potentially marking the beginning of a new era in relations between Iran and the west. The deal follows 17 days of almost uninterrupted negotiations in Vienna involving foreign ministers from seven countries – Iran, U.S., UK, Russia, China, France and Germany – and the EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini.
