Yerevan and Tehran intend to bring bilateral cooperation to the level of strategic partnership, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said following the meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.

"We agreed that it is time to work to raise relations between our countries to the level of strategic partnership," Nikol Pashinyan said.

He expressed confidence that Pezeshkian’s visit to Yerevan would boost the friendly ties.
