Iran's position is stable, the red lines are the same. Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Abbas Badakhshan Zohouri emphasized in an interview with ‘Lurer’. He emphasized that Iran is in favor of unblocking the roads in the region, on the condition of respecting the internationally recognized borders and territorial integrity of the countries.
Abbas Badakhshan Zohouri (Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Iran to Armenia) - Our position regarding the lifting of the blockade has been voiced many times. The Islamic Republic of Iran has stated many times and at different levels that it is in favor of unblocking the communication links, respecting the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of the countries of the region. In recent weeks, the Armenian authorities have repeatedly emphasized this. We have witnessed that, apart from Iran and Armenia, other parties have also expressed their opposition to the extraterritorial corridor. I think that the course of negotiations on the issue of unblocking was also such that now the officials involved in the negotiations clearly speak about the need to respect the sovereignty of Armenia. We believe that the unblocking will be beneficial for the region only within these frameworks. Iran's position is firm, it is necessary to respect the territorial integrity of the countries and accept the internationally recognized borders.
