We support the idea of resolving issues through diplomatic means and are against using force to solve regional issues, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani told reporters.<\/p>\n
“Using force to create a new route makes no sense and has no justification. I do not want to talk about potential events in the future or express a position. Of course, Armenia’s position that any route passing through its territory must be under its sovereignty is an internationally accepted norm,” the diplomat stated.<\/p>\n
Sobhani noted that Iran will use its relations with Azerbaijan and other countries to prevent such conflicts.<\/p>\n
“If an attack occurs now, I believe Armenia has the military capability to defend its country. Do not underestimate the defense capabilities,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The positions of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the so-called ‘Zangezur corridor’ align with each other. It’s only Iran that supports Armenia on this issue,” the Iranian ambassador to Armenia said.<\/p>\n
He noted that the so-called corridor is not beneficial for either Armenia or Iran.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
