Iran is the only country that shares Armenia’s stance on the so-called "corridor issue" - Sobhani

Iran is the only country in the region whose stance on the so-called “Zangezur Corridor” aligns with that of Armenia. Iran supports Armenia on this issue, as it is detrimental to both countries, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani stated at a press conference on January 6.

According to the ambassador, Iran has no disagreements with Armenia on this matter.

Addressing Russia’s statements that it does not oppose the corridor logic, Sobhani emphasized:

"We have clearly expressed our position to both Russia and other countries. We oppose the corridor logic, we are against any road under international control, and we reject anything that would lead to border changes. We have made this clear and do not take into account the considerations of other countries in this matter."

"Some countries are trying to create suspicion by alleging that Iran has rolled back  its position on this issue. This matter concerns our security. We remain firm on issues related to our national security. This is our position - compare it with that of other countries. If they do not align, then we have disagreements with that country. For us, the interests of our country are the priority," Sobhani said.

The ambassador reaffirmed that Iran will not retreat from its firm stance on the so-called "Zangezur Corridor" and will not negotiate any deals on the issue.
