The Iranian side is against the presence of foreigners in this region, both in Azerbaijan and Armenia. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reiterated at a briefing in Yerevan on Thursday.

He noted the utmost importance for Iran of the activity of its internal representatives in the region. These, he said, include the "3+3" platform (South Caucasus countries + Russia, Iran and Turkey - ed.). "Our presence in Yerevan confirms the centuries-old connection between Armenia and Iran," he added.
