| ARMENIAS CONSULATE GENERAL IN TABRIZ |
|
 After an interval of two years, the opening of Armenias Consulate
General in Iran is on the agenda. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister
Hasan Kashkavi stated that the preliminary agreement was reached
concerning Armenias opening the consulate in Tabriz. Owing to the
conveniences granted by the Iranian Government to Armenians, Armenians
have reportedly started to flow to South Azerbaijan recently. Thanks
to the Tehran-Yerevan cooperation, while Armenians publish cultural
declarations in Ardebil and religious declarations in Urumiye, they
seek to be involved in the oil industry in Tabriz.
It has been met with great reaction that through its decision of 15
January 2008, the Iranian Administration approved the request for
opening of Armenias Consulate General in Tabriz where the majority
of the population consists of Turks. Within the framework of the
approval, Armenia was expected to open its consulate general by March
2008. However, no developments have occurred regarding the issue
within the time passed. It is deemed noteworthy that the issue has
appeared on the agenda again.
Armenia tried to enter the areas of South Azerbaijan through the
support of the Iranian Administration in 2004 for the first time;
however it was met with the reaction of the Ardebil public. The
Armenian Administration did not abandon its insistence and sought ways
of staying in South Azerbaijan. In the meantime, the Iranian
Government granted Armenians, their strategic partners the permission
of running the mines in Ardebil. The relations between the two
countries continued with memorandums of cooperation signed in the
field of defense, the construction of natural gas pipeline, railway
project and the contracting work by the Iranian construction companies
in Karabakh region under occupation.
As is known, Armenia is the closest center to Iran from the
perspective of the USA. Iran which is aware of this situation is
seeking to make Armenia which is its only Christian neighbor dependent
on itself through the vitally important aids. Armenia whose borders
with Turkey and Azerbaijan are closed and which does not share any
borders with Russia welcomes the cooperation with Iran. However, it is
stated that the Iranian Administration will not deem positively of
opening Armenias Consulate General in Tabriz taking into
consideration the reaction of the Tabriz public.
