Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan held a telephone conversation with his acting Iranian counterpart Ali Bagheri Kani on Wednesday.
Bagheri Kani was appointed to the position following the deaths of Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who were killed last week in a deadly helicopter crash.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan traveled to Tehran to take part in memorial services for the deceased Iranian leaders and met with, among others, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Mirzoyan once again expressed his condolences to his counterpart regarding the passing of the Iranian leaders, according to a statement issued by Armenia’s foreign ministry.
During the phone call, the two emphasized that relations “between the two countries and peoples are deep, strong, and will continue.”
Mirzoyan and Bagheri Kani discussed bilateral and regional issues, stressing their mutual willingness to implement the agreements reached so far and ensure the continuity of the current programs.
The Armenian foreign ministry said Bagheri Kani offered condolences for the casualties and losses suffered over the weekend as a result of the deadly floods in Armenia’s Lori and Tavush provinces.
