We are against the "Zangezur Corridor" and support the territorial integrity of Armenia. Mehrdat Bazrpash

Armenia is very important for Iran. Iran's Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mehrdat Bazrpash said this in a conversation with journalists today, October 23, in Yerevan.

"Armenia can play a key role in the framework of the North-South Corridor," he said, according to News.am.

According to the official, Iran does not agree with the "Zangezur Corridor" circulated by Azerbaijan.

"We have repeatedly stated that we do not agree with the Zangezur Corridor, and in meetings with various Azerbaijani officials we have said that we are against it. Our policy is based on peace in the Caucasus and we condemn any kind of foreign interference. We believe that the countries of the region will be able to make the best decisions themselves," Bazrpash emphasized.

According to him, Iran has always supported Armenia's territorial integrity and will continue to support it. "The infrastructures that are being created between the two countries are aimed at stable peace between the neighboring countries," the Iranian minister added.

He reminded that recently an agreement was reached with Azerbaijan regarding the Araz Corridor, which passes from Azerbaijan through the territory of Iran to Nakhichevan.
