Ismail Baghaei, Spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, announced at a press conference that the recent visits of Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Akbar Ahmadian to Armenia and Azerbaijan were pre-planned. “Iran considers its relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia to be important.
