YEREVAN (RFE/RL) —The Armenian government moved on Thursday to lift visa requirements for Iranian nationals, saying that the measure will strengthen Armenia’s relations with Iran and attract more Iranian tourists to the country.
The government formally approved a draft on visa-free travel between the two neighboring states. It did not specify when the deal will be signed.
A government statement said that visa liberalization “stems from the need to boost mutually beneficial commercial and other links between Armenia and Iran.â€
