As before, Iran considers that the concept of the "Zangezur corridor" does not correspond to the interests of Armenia. The leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, stated this at his meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Tehran, ISNA news agency reports.

Khamenei emphasized the importance of Armenia's territorial integrity and noted that Armenian-Iranian relations will develop on the basis of mutual interests, and regardless of the politics of other countries. He added that other countries should not interfere in the relations of neighboring countries.

Armenian PM Pashinyan is in Iran to attend the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian.
