YEREVAN. – Iran can use Armenia as a bridge to enter the markets of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member countries, said Iranian Ambassador Seyed Kazzem Sajjadi.

The diplomat stated this during Friday’s meeting, at the Iranian embassy in capital city Yerevan, between representatives of the Armenian and Iranian travel agencies.

The Ambassador also noted that Iran, as a neighbor, can provide great opportunities to Armenia.

“Political relations of Armenia and Iran are at an excellent level, but the level of economic relations is unacceptable and insufficient,” said Sajjadi. “After the lifting of entry visas, we will witness a large tourist flow between the two countries; this will also contribute to attracting investors, which will lead to the development of [bilateral] economic relations.”

Ambassador Sajjadi added that exchanging of students between Armenia and Iran will promote the development of cultural relations.
