In connection with Azerbaijan's latest aggression, Iran has very clearly expressed its position, Gevorg Papoyan, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Financial, Credit and Budgetary Affairs and an MP representing the ruling Civil Contract Party in Armenia, told NEWS.am. Gevorg Papoyan provided details about his visit to Iran.

Papoyan referred not only to well-known statements of the Islamic leader and the Iranian Foreign Ministry, but also to the document adopted by the Iranian parliamentary committee on security and international affairs which emphasizes the importance of preserving Armenia's territorial integrity and stresses the inviolability of this principle for Iran.

"In addition, it is noted that Armenia has the right to ensure the security and protection of its own borders by any means. Both in terms of the territorial integrity of Armenia, and in terms of the inviolability of borders, and on the economic agenda, there are no issues on which the interests of Armenia and Iran would not coincide," he added.

The deputy assured that there will be no talks about corridors through the territory of Armenia, recalling that there is not a single document about it.

"But there is a notion of the Lachin corridor, which is fixed in the document, and there is no other corridor, but a clause on the unblocking of roads. Both Armenia and Iran welcome the unblocking of roads, but nothing else is out of the question. Another thing is that it may be the wish of Azerbaijan or Turkey, and maybe other forces. Official Yerevan's stance fully coincides with that of official Iran on the absence of a corridor through Armenia and that there cannot be one," the MP stressed.

Papoyan recalled that Iran is planning to hold military exercises in the north of the country.

He said that during the Armenian delegation's visit to Iran, meetings were held within the framework of the Armenia-Iran Friendship Group, meetings were also held with the vice speaker of the Iranian parliament, other parliamentarians, representatives of the government, including the head of Iran's Foreign Ministry and the Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade.

"The agenda was very broad. Relations between Armenia and Iran are of a friendly nature, and it is not easy to say. No issues were raised that would not stem from the mutual interests of both sides, ranging from political issues, border issues, pumping up economic issues. All these issues are equally important for both Armenia and Iran.

Parliamentary cooperation is the continuation of political cooperation between the states and friendly peoples," the deputy concluded.
