MEHR News Agency, Iran

TEHRAN, Aug. 26 (MNA) – Iran's ambassador to Yerevan Mehdi Sobhani says that Tehran supports the territorial integrity of Armenia and is against any change to the borders.

Referring to his previous remarks on Iran's steps over supporting Armenia's territorial integrity, Sobhani told NEWS.am. that Tehran has already taken those steps.

We support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Armenia, and we are against any change of borders. We support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Armenia as we recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, he said.

The Iranian ambassador went on to say that Iran is not against the opening of communication channels and provided such channels to Azerbaijan as well, stressing that all channels of communication should be under the control of the countries in whose territory they are located, especially in the case of Armenia.

Answering a question on what would Iran do if Azerbaijan tried to open the so-called “Zangezur corridor” by force, he once again reiterated Iran's support for the opening of communication channels. But they should be under the control of the Armenian government. Nothing will change by force, he said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
