TEHRAN (Iran News) Asked about a plan endorsed by Moscow, Baku and Ankara for the creation of the so-called Zangezur corridor that is designed to link the Republic of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan without Armenian checkpoints, Nasser Kanaani said at a press conference on Monday, “We openly express our opposition to any changes in the borders that would violate the political independence of countries and are also opposed to changes in international boundaries.”
Reaffirming Iran’s support for peace and stability in the South Caucasus region, he said Tehran welcomes the unblocking of routes in compliance with the sovereignty of the regional states.
He also voiced Iran’s support for the advancement of peace talks between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia, noting that Caucasus peace will be in the interests of all regional nations.
Warning about attempts by outsiders to foment instability in the Caucasus, Kanaani said Iran continues to strengthen mechanisms for regional cooperation on the basis of the 3+3 format, which includes Russia, Iran, Turkey and three South Caucasus nations.
Iranian officials have time and again expressed opposition to any change in the international boundaries or the geopolitics of the region.
