Iran, Russia Moot Regional Stability, Territorial Integrity In Caucasus
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 3. Iran has voiced
its stance on regional stability and territorial integrity in the
Caucasus amid ongoing concerns over the Zangezur Corridor, Trend
reports.
During the recent diplomatic exchange, Director General of the
Eurasian Affairs Department of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (MFA), Mukhtaba Demirchilu, discussed several issues with
Russia's Ambassador to Iran, Alexei Dedov.
"National sovereignty, territorial integrity, and mutual respect
among Caucasian countries are crucial for achieving durable peace
and regional cooperation," Demirchilu emphasized.
The meeting underscored the importance of supporting peace and
stability, fostering regional cooperation, and resisting changes to
internationally recognized borders and geopolitical shifts.
The discussions also covered the potential of regional countries
to address challenges, support economic plans that consider all
parties' interests, and upcoming sessions of the 3+3 mechanism and
the Foreign Ministers of Iran, Azerbaijan, and Russia.
Recent statements from Moscow regarding support for the Zangezur
Corridor, which will run along the Armenia-Iran border, have drawn
attention and concern in Tehran.
It appears that the Iranian MFA's references to "borders" may
specifically pertain to this corridor, highlighting ongoing
regional tensions.
