Tehran opposes any geopolitical changes in region: Security chief
The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) expressed on Saturday the Islamic Republic’s strong opposition to any geopolitical changes in the region.
Ali Akbar Ahmadian made the assertion on the phone with his Armenian counterpart, Armen Grigoryan, saying Tehran believes that all regional nations benefit from this policy.
He also appreciated Armenia’s stance in condemning the Israeli aggression against Iran during the 12-day imposed war.
During the phone conversation, the two sides discussed regional and bilateral issues.
The Armenian official presented a report on the latest status of negotiations with the Azerbaijani side, underscoring Yerevan’s unchanged stance on regional transit corridors.
Grigoryan also emphasized Armenia’s position on the issue of unblocking regional channels, based on territorial integrity, sovereignty, and jurisdiction.
Ahmadian reaffirmed Iran’s position on the matter and expressed support for Armenia’s approach.
In May, Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed on the text of a peace agreement to end nearly four decades of conflict between the South Caucasus countries, with Yerevan agreeing to surrender its claim to Karabakh.
The long-disputed region of Karabakh was at the center of two costly wars between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 and the 1990s.
The region has always been internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, whose troops retook it in a 24-hour offensive.
