"Armenia can lead the way in the talks between Iran and EAEU," Gabrielyan said.
He said that Armenia is well-aware of market features and trade mechanisms in Iran; thus, it can lead the way.
Prime ministers of Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan in the meeting on March 6 in Bishkek had agreed to formulate a deal to create a free-trade zone with Iran.
The agreement holds ample economic opportunities, such as trade and investment; and it also prepares more fields of cooperation.
EAEU, co-founded in Jan 2015 by Armenia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, encompasses a population of 180 million. It has a $2.2 billion GDP, and $ 3.1 trillion industrial production.
The trade between EAEU members and EU exceeds $877 million, equaling 7.3 percent of the world's export and 3.2 percent of the world's import.
Vietnam signed an agreement to cooperate with this union; and certain countries including China, Turkey, Tunisia, India, New Zealand and Mongolia call for such a union.
Iran and EAEU have held some rounds of talks concerning economic partnership which led to temporary cooperation in form of trade facilitation and zero tariff rates for some Iranian goods.
EAEU officially started its activity in 2015 with Russia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan as members.
