Iran welcomes opening transport communications taking into account Armenia’s sovereignty, says Iranian ambassador

Iran welcomes the opening of transport communications in the region, but Armenia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity should be taken into account, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani told reporters.

“The relations between Iran and Armenia have a clear basis. We are neighbors. We have lived side by side for centuries and we have very good relations. And I do not think that anyone will take a step against the interests of the peoples of both countries,” the ambassador said, noting that the Iranian side is against any geopolitical change and corridor.

Mehdi Sobhani also noted that Kapan and Iranian cities will be connected by direct flights in the future.
