Pezeshkian: Any geopolitical change in regional borders unacceptable

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian underlined that any geopolitical change in regional borders is not acceptable in any way, saying that preserving the territorial integrity of regional countries is one of the fundamental principles of Iran’s foreign policy.
Pezeshkian made the remarks in a meeting with visiting Foreign Policy Advisor to Azerbaijan President Hikmat Hajiyev in Tehran on Monday.
Azerbaijan has had a plan to connect its exclave of Nakhchivan, bordering Turkey, to mainland Azerbaijan through the so-called Zangezur corridor which passes through Armenian’s territory. Armenia opposes the plans on the grounds that it would violate its sovereignty.
Iran has also repeatedly opposed the plan on the grounds that it would cut off the transport routes connecting its territories to
Armenia.
Pezeshkian also said on Monday that the Islamic Republic is interested in strengthening the relations with Azerbaijan in economic, political, cultural, defense and security sectors, emphasizing the rapid removal of obstacles facing trade and transportation sectors.
The Azeri official, for his part, said Iran, as a friendly and brotherly country of Azerbaijan, is of great importance to Baku, saying that Azerbaijan is seeking to improve its relations with Iran.
“I can confidently say that among the countries neighboring the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Republic of Azerbaijan is one of the most determined countries to develop cooperation and relations with Iran.”
Hajiyev, who arrived in Tehran on Sunday, also held a separate meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
