Armenia, Iran agree to form platform for Persian Gulf-Black Sea  corridor

ArmInfo. The Persian Gulf-Black Sea transport corridor project is one of the key issues on the Armenian-Iranian agenda, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-  Abdollahian stated at a news conference held jointly with his  Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan on October 20 as he answered a  question as to what steps are being taken to involve other countries  in the project. 

"We are of the opinion that, given India's role, including in this  project, we should form a trilateral platform to achieve our goals in  the context of this road. To have more influence in constructing this  important corridor," he said. 

In his turn, Mr Mirzoyan gave assurances that Armenia is concerned  with the Persian Gulf-Black Sea transport corridor. "And like Iran  and Bulgarian, we have signed a preliminary agreement. I think the  corridor will be of interest to India as well, and we will be able to  put the idea into practice," he said.
