A new dictionary focusing on the Armenian and Persian equivalents of diplomatic terminology has been published in Iran.

The dictionary, compiled by Vahagn Afyan, was launched at a reception on Saturday at the Armenian Embassy in Tehran.

“Relations between the Iranian and Armenian nations have a long history and diplomatic relations between the countries have expanded over the past few years and will improve in different fields in the future,” Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Safaryan is quoted as saying at the book launch according to the Tehran Times.
