(C) The Ambassador delivered reftel demarche to Armenian
Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian, who agreed that Iranian
President Ahmadi-Nejad's recent inflammatory rhetoric is
cause for concern. Oskanian told the Ambassador that
President Kocharian's Chief of Staff Artashes Tumanian -- an
Iran-Armenia Joint Economic Commission (JEC) co-chair --
plans to lead an Armenian JEC delegation, likely to include
Deputy Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanyan, to Iran in early
November. "They will try to caution the Iranians," Oskanian
told the Ambassador.
