ArmInfo. The past three years have been marked by new challenges and trials, deepening of ties and intensification of interaction for Armenia and Armenian-Iranian relations. This is stated in the message of the Ambassador of Armenia to Iran Arsen Avagyan, who is concluding his mission in Tehran.

"During this period, the strategic vision for the further development  of good-neighborly relations between Armenia and Iran was at the  center of my daily attention, as was the entire staff of the embassy.   On this difficult path, I would like to express my gratitude to our  Armenian community in the IRI, which is a unique social and cultural  bridge between Armenia and Iran. I also express my sincere gratitude  to the three dioceses of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Iran. Over  the years, we have managed to maintain traditionally close contacts  between the embassy and the Iranian-Armenian community," the diplomat  noted.
