Armenia plans to open consulate general in Tabriz

ArmInfo.Armenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposes opening Armenia's consulate General in Tabriz, Iran. 

As the authors of the draft decision note in the explanation to the  document, in 2022, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia and  the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran reached an agreement to  increase bilateral trade turnover to one, and then to three billion  US dollars.

"The activities of the RA Consulate General in Tabriz can contribute  to the development of Armenian- Iranian economic relations. Since  October 2022, the Consulate General of the Islamic Republic of Iran  has been operating in the city of Kapan, Syunik region of the  Republic of Armenia. The opening of the RA General Consultation in  the city of Tabriz, East Atrapatan province of the Islamic Republic  of Iran will ensure the implementation of the principle of  reciprocity," the diplomatic corps states. 

The Eastern Atrapatan province of the Islamic Republic of Iran  borders the Syunik region of the Republic of Armenia, and the opening  of the consulate general will greatly contribute to the further  development of commercial, sociocultural, interpersonal and tourist  ties between the two administrative-territorial units, the Ministry  of Foreign Affairs noted.
