ArmInfo.Iran's Embassy to Armenia has confirmed that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will pay a visit to Armenia in December 2016.
"In December 2016, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will pay a visit to Armenia. However, the precise date of his visit is not known yet," the Iranian Embassy has told ArmInfo's correspondent.
To note, during a meeting with the Armenian foreign minister in Tehran in June 2016, the President of Iran said that he would shortly visit Armenia. In early October, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Seyed Kazem Sajadi said that Rouhani's visit to Armenia would become a crucial point in the Armenian-Iranian relations. Some media outlets have disseminated reports that Azerbaijan is exerting pressure on Iran in this matter.
