Embassy of Iran to Armenia - It is important for Iran to preserve the territorial integrity of the two neighboring countries and the fact that the Iran-Armenia border is a historical communication route and should remain unchanged.
This is the position of the Iranian Embassy to Armenia regarding the attack of Azerbaijan on the borders of Armenia on the night of September 12-13. In response to the ‘Lurer’ inquiry, the Embassy states that Iran has expressed its position on developments in the Caucasus region, relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan at different levels, emphasizing the importance of the Armenian-Iranian border for Tehran.
Embassy of Iran to Armenia - As we witnessed in the meetings between the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and the presidents of Russia and Turkey, Iran is against the violation of the territorial integrity and borders of neighboring countries. Tehran will show special resistance to any scenario that would damage Iran, which is a historical route connecting the two neighboring nations on the border with Armenia.
This principled position of ours was repeated during the telephone conversation between the President of the Republic of Iran and the Honorable Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, as well as the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Tehran's red lines are also emphasized in the analytical publications of the Iranian press.
Zhanna Vardanyan (Specialist of Iranian Studies) - It is not in Iran's interest to have a Turkish presence in its north, be it in the form of Azerbaijan. What is most disturbing is the formation of a pro-Azerbaijani axis that is a threat to its northwestern region.
Besides, Armenia is an alternative route to Europe for Iran, and if it doesn't happen, it is still dependent on Turkey. On the other hand, it has access to Europe through Russia, through the Caspian Sea, but there are restrictions here now.
Regarding the videos and information circulating in recent days that armored and infantry units of the Iranian Armed Forces have been deployed on the Iran-Armenia border, the Iranian expert notes that the videos are old, but this does not mean that Iran does not have equipment and troops on the border.
Back in the days of the 44-day war, Iran stockpiled military equipment on its border, some of which remained in place anyway. The fact that Iran will bring the army to high readiness is normal and should not be treated as an extraordinary phenomenon, further actions will show the developments of events.
Vardanyan also notes that the nationalist circles of Iran are active these days. They even talk about supporting the Armenian side with troops and military equipment.
