Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said here Sunday that regional problems should be solved by regional states themselves.
Movsisiyan, telling Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki that Tehran-Yerevan ties serve both sides` interests, hailed Iran as a country with an `undeniable` role in regional arrangements.
He hoped that during upcoming visit of Armenian foreign minister to Tehran, Iran and Armenia will strive to work out a mechanism for drawing necessary strategies for more consultations between Iran and the Caucasus states.
Mottaki said Caucasus is a region of high significance and Iran and Armenia can in cooperation with other regional states reach a formula for restoration of peace and stability there.
He said holding meetings to pool regional states` views in connection with regional issues will be helpful.
