The Iranian foreign ministry hopes that the project on unilateral cancellation of visa regime with Azerbaijan and several other countries submitted to the government will be approved soon, Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said at a press-conference in Tehran.

The Iranian side takes actions to develop bilateral relations and ties between two peoples, Mottaki said answering the question of Trend news agency's correspondent.
