Armenia, Iran Plan Cross-Border ‘Friendship Park=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=

Armenia and Iran fleshed out on Tuesday plans for the establishment of a natural reserve on either side of their border, which is meant to symbolize and cement growing cooperation between the two neighboring states.

The issue topped the agenda of a three-day visit to Armenia by Mohammad-Javad Mohammadizadeh, head of Iran's Environmental Protection Organization, a government agency. Mohammadizadeh, who is also one of his country's 12 vice-presidents, discussed it with President Serzh Sarkisian, Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgian and Environment Protection Minister Aram Harutiunian.

The creation of the Friendship and Peace Park is envisaged by an Armenian-Iranian agreement on joint environment protection that was signed by Mohammadizadeh and Harutiunian in Tehran in March. They signed a follow-up memorandum of understanding in Yerevan.
