Any lifting of the blockade must be under Armenia’s national sovereignty, says Mehdi Sobhani

Of course, we support peace. We have also supported the peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan and will continue to do so, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani said in Syunik.

“We believe that signing a peace agreement is in the interests of both countries and also the region. We are ready to contribute to the signing of this agreement.

As you know, we previously welcomed the Armenian prime minister’s “Crossroads of Peace” initiative. This could serve as an opportunity for the region’s demilitarization. It will contribute to regional prosperity. The foundation of the economy is transport, and this can significantly facilitate shipments within the region.

You know that we are not opposed to demilitarization; our position is clear. But any lifting of the blockade must be under Armenia’s national sovereignty. I also believe that this initiative will help in the transportation of goods in the region. Everyone should welcome the peace agreement,” the ambassador said.
