US embassy cable - 04YEREVAN1940

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) DCM delivered reftel demarche September 1 to Deputy 
Foreign Minister Tatul Margarian.  In light of Armenia's 
developing relationship with Iran, we placed particular 
emphasis on Iran's role as the leading state sponsor of 
terrorism.  Margarian said that Armenia's ties to Iran are 
developing as a matter of simple geographic necessity. 
Iranian President Khatami will visit Armenia, most likely 
during the second week of September, to conclude specific 
economic agreements.  Margarian said that the GOAM intends to 
continue to conduct its relationship with Iran transparently, 
taking into account U.S. concerns "as much as possible." 
Margarian noted that at the same time Armenia is developing 
some economic ties with Iran, it continues to cooperate with 
the U.S. on strengthening border controls.
