Iran, Armenia, India plan meeting on transportation: Envoy
Speaking to reporters in Kapan, the capital of Armenia’s Syunik province, Mehdi Sobhani said that agreements have been reached to hold a meeting among Tehran, Yerevan and New Delhi on public transportation, reported Tasnim News Agency.
Sobhani noted that further arrangements are needed to set a date for the meeting.
“Cooperation in the transportation sector will benefit the three countries,” said the envoy, highlighting the “positive viewpoint” on trilateral interaction.
He also reiterated Iran’s opposition to any geopolitical change in the region, saying Iran is averse to using the term “Zangezur” for a corridor that is designed to link the Republic of Azerbaijan with Nakhichevan without Armenian checkpoints.
The ambassador said the relations between Iran and Armenia are based on “vivid and fixed principles,” adding that the two neighbors enjoy a long history of peaceful ties.
“Our relations are based on the sustainable interests of the two nations, and nobody can take a step against the interests of the two states,” Sobhani said.
