Also, cultural cooperation between the two countries, due to their deep and long-standing cultural ties, was an important topic of the discussions in the meeting.”

The Armenian side provided detailed explanations about the recent discussions in Washington and assured that it is aware of the red lines drawn by the Islamic Republic of Iran and will always pay attention to them. Based on this assurance, Armenia will never allow any threat to Iran from its territory."
