Armenia: No force can cut border with Iran
He made the remarks in a meeting with Iran’s Ambassador to Yerevan Mehdi Sobhani, ISNA reported.
Grigoryan appreciated Iran’s positions on international borders as well as supporting the territorial integrity of Armenia.
He emphasized that the border of Armenia and Iran is the border of peace and friendship, stressing that Armenia attaches great importance to the relationship with Iran and no force can cut the territorial connection between Iran and Armenia.
Sobhani underscored the position of Iran in supporting the territorial integrity of its neighbors and Tehran’s opposition to any geopolitical change in the international borders.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s recent remarks expressing support for Azerbaijan’s demand to get unimpeded access to its Nakhchivan exclave by opening the Zangezur transport corridor through Armenia have drawn criticism in Iran.
Moscow and Baku want Russia to monitor and control the corridor, but Yerevan and Tehran are opposed to such a scheme.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also reacted to the Lavrov’s remarks, saying that any threats to the territorial integrity of neighboring countries or redrawing of boundaries is a red line for Iran.
In a post published on the X social media platform on Thursday, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized that regional stability plays a very significant role in his country’s national security.
“Any threat from North, South, East, or West to the territorial integrity of our neighbors or redrawing of boundaries is totally unacceptable and a red line for Iran,” Araghchi added.
