Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh Kocharyan announced that Armenian government passed the permission for signing the agreement on Thursday.
Citizens of both neighboring countries, whether with ordinary or political passports, can benefit from the program.
Kocharyan asserted that the agreement is an important step to strengthen the bilateral ties between Tehran and Yerevan and would surely contribute to common interests of Iran and Armenia in all areas including economy and trade.
