Iran will oppose any initiative that undermines regional peace and security. Iranian Vice President Seyed Hamid Pourmohammadi on Tuesday told this to reporters in Yerevan.

According to him, Tehran’s approaches to Armenia’s “Crossroads of Peace” project were reaffirmed during the Iranian president’s visit to Armenia, in a document signed jointly with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Also, Pourmohammadi noted that Iran distinguishes two principled provisions: “First, regional peace and stability must be guaranteed by the countries of the region themselves. Second, Iran is ready to support any step that will be aimed at establishing and strengthening peace between the countries of the region.”

“The Armenian prime minister is a respected and trustworthy partner for Iran, and we are in direct contact with him,” added the Iranian vice president.
