Iran ready to become platform for talks between Azerbaijan, Armenia
Ambassador's statement

REGION  28 September 2022 - 14:00

Iran’s ambassador to the Azerbaijan Republic has expressed Tehran’s readiness to help Azerbaijan and Armenia reach a lasting peace.

Iran’s Ambassador in Baku Abbas Mousavi met with Azerbaijan’s First Vice-President Assistant Elcin Amirbayov in Baku on Sept. 27, IRNA reports.

The two sides discussed the latest developments regarding bilateral ties, the situation in the Caucasus, and Iran’s principal stances on issues related to that region.

Ambassador Mousavi reiterated Iran’s positions regarding the immutability of internationally recognised borders and stated that there should not be any geopolitical changes inconsistent with Iran’s vital and long-term interests in the region.

He said that Iran was ready to help its northern neighbours, i.e. Azerbaijan and Armenia, to achieve lasting peace in the framework of bilateral and trilateral meetings and the regional initiative 3+3 in Tehran.

Azerbaijan and Armenia began a fresh round of escalation earlier this month after a few months of a fragile ceasefire.
