Publication claims Iran’s lands belong to Armenia

“Metsamor” newspaper run by Armenians has included Iran’s territories
into the map of “Great Armenia” published on its first page. The
Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, in an interview with local ANS
television, stated that Armenians are distorting history. He said
that such statements are laughable and pose no threat to Iran’s
territorial integrity.

The mentioned map is provided in every issue of this newspaper
published in 5,000 copies. The publication’s editor-in-chief is a
well-known academician in Armenia.
