TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here Tuesday communicated a law with the justice ministry requiring implementation of an agreement between Iran and Armenia on the extradition of criminals.
According to the secretariat of the government’s information dissemination council, the bill of the agreement was introduced to the parliament and approved by both the parliament and the Expediency Council in September.
The single article law, comprising a prelude and 19 sub-articles, allows the Islamic Republic government to extradite criminals with the republic of Armenia.
Establishment of a methodology for judiciary cooperation between Iran and Armenia, positive effects of the measure, preparation of proper legal grounds for the two countries’ citizens and governments and also preparation of the ground for the further expansion of Iran-Armenia relations were among the many justifications in support of the agreement when it was introduced to the parliament.
The agreement was signed by Iranian and Armenian justice ministers in June 2006.
