Presentation of book 'The Power of Negotiation' by Iranian Foreign Minister held in Yerevan

The presentation of the Armenian translation of the book "The Power of Negotiation" by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi took place at the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"The presentation of this book within these walls is not accidental. It serves as further evidence of Armenia-Iran mutual understanding, the significance of the power of negotiation, and, of course, our unwavering friendship.

Our two countries, living in a truly complex region and having endured various historical hardships, attach particular importance to diplomacy, considering it the most essential tool for ensuring security and stability.

According to Mirzoyan, Araghchi's book once again proves that diplomacy is an effective formula for resolving international and regional issues.

"Dr. Araghchi notes in his book: "Diplomacy is not a game where you have to win; it is a process where you have to understand the other person." I believe this is a key, fundamental principle, without which it is impossible to expect or achieve diplomatic solutions,'' Mirzoyan stated.

Foreign Minister Mirzoyan praised the book, emphasizing that ''it not only describes the technical aspects of the negotiation process but also analyzes the psychological, political, national, and cultural dimensions of diplomacy.''

He expressed hope that the Armenian translation of the book would help Armenian youth and diplomats enhance their negotiation skills and, in general, serve as a practical guide for all those who value mutual understanding and solidarity.

"I wish Minister Araghchi continued creative success," the Armenian Foreign Minister said, offering his congratulations.

The book's preface was written by Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani also delivered speeches at the book's presentation.

The Iranian Foreign Minister arrived in Armenia for an official visit on March 24.
