The Iranian foreign minister is ready to visit the capitals of Azerbaijan and Armenia as a gesture of good neighborliness. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated about this in an interview with the Russia 24 television.

According to him, the development of relations with neighboring countries is one of the main priorities of the new Iranian government.

"Azerbaijan and Armenia are our good neighbors, and we cannot collaborate with one of them and act against the other. Our foreign policy is balanced. Two days ago, my colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, visited Tehran. It would be good if our Azerbaijani colleague also have the opportunity to visit Iran," Amir-Abdollahian said, adding that he would visit Yerevan and Baku as a gesture of good neighborliness—and when such an opportunity arises.

The Iranian FM added he had had a classified meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart—and on the margins of the UN General Assembly.
