MOSCOW, April 21. /TASS/. Iran eastward orientation, first of all towards Russia, is the country’s strategic choice, Speaker of the Majlis (Parliament) of Iran Ali Larijani said in an exclusive interview with TASS.

"Reaching an agreement on the nuclear issue opened new conditions for investment in Iran," - the speaker of the Majlis said.

He noted that the Islamic Republic is "an energy power, which has sources of energy, with a large number of specialists and prospects of growth."

"It is simple to invest in Iran considering that the energy (sector) and human resources are already available. That is why European entrepreneurs come to us, start their projects."

"I would like to clarify one point: our orientation to the east, first of all to Russia is our strategic choice. So we will open a special "file" for Russia, for Russia's role in the economy and infrastructure of Iran."
