Iran's Foreign Ministry emphasizes friendly, constructive relations with Armenia

YEREVAN, AUGUST 19, ARMENPRESS. At the press meeting, Iranian Foreign Ministry representative Nasser Kanaani did not comment on the issue of the US delivering radar and anti-aircraft equipment to Armenia. Instead, Kanaani addressed the friendly, constructive, and close relations between Armenia and Iran.

In his speech, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized the mutual desire of Armenia and Iran to develop friendly, constructive, and comprehensive relations.

Kanaani  particularly highlighted the joint efforts and cooperation to strengthen stability and security in the region. The spokesperson also underscored the importance of maintaining common borders, which, according to him, are beneficial for economic and commercial development and prosperity.

However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also noted: "We do not comment or interfere in countries' bilateral issues or their relations with other countries. However, as a general principle, we are generally pessimistic about the role of the United States in the region, as well as the US military presence in the region. This pessimism stems from the US government's history of destabilizing activities in various countries in the region.”
