Meanwhile, in a meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, Rouhani warned that the terrorists are likely to seek to spread out in the region after their complete defeat in Syria and Iraq.
He said all countries must remain vigilant in the face of the spread of terrorism in the region, particularly in the Caucasus and Central Asia.
The Iranian president urged all regional countries to boost close cooperation to counter such a dangerous phenomenon.
He also emphasized that the Islamic Republic seeks to expand relations with its neighboring states, including Armenia, and said Tehran and Yerevan can take positive steps to serve their bilateral and regional interests given their numerous cultural and historical commonalities.
