"We are in favor of expanding transport routes, but it should not contradict the territorial integrity of countries" - Baghai

Our position on the developments in the South Caucasus has not changed. This was stated by the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai.

"We have urged Azerbaijan and Armenia to move towards a peace agreement. We are in favor of expanding transport routes, but it should not contradict the territorial integrity of the countries," Baghai noted.

Bagai also expressed concern over reports of the involvement of external actors in recent developments in the South Caucasus, stressing that Iran considers such interventions to be contrary to the security and development interests of the region.
