Some countries are expressing doubts that Iran has allegedly retreated from its position on the so-called “Zangezur corridor.” This was stated by Iranian ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani, during a press conference Thursday.

“We [i.e. Iran] always clearly express our position on our security. If the position of any country does not correspond to our position, then we have disagreements with that country. For us, our national interests are paramount, and bargaining around them is impossible. We will not make a deal with anyone regarding the so-called ‘Zangezur corridor,’” added the Iranian envoy to Armenia.
