ArmInfo. Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Tuesday night that in his meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov he has ensured him  that Iran will harmonize its stands on Caucasus region developments  with Russia, IRNA reports.

Upon his arrival in Moscow Amirabdollahian said in a meeting with the  media representatives that "we expect Russia to react to probable  changes in countries' borders in the region and be sensitive about  such matters".

"It is also expected that Russia will be sensitive about the presence  of the terrorists and the intriguing moves of the Zionists in the  region, which are both threats against regional peace and stability,"  he added.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that on October 6,  talks between Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation  Sergei Lavrov and his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amirabdollahian  would take place in Moscow. The meeting will be a continuation of the  regular dialogue between the heads of the foreign affairs agencies of  the two countries. The last time they spoke by phone was September 9,  2021.

The Ministers are expected to pay special attention to the situation  around the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear  program. "The only way out of this situation is the earliest possible  resumption of the negotiation process to restore the full-fledged  functioning of the nuclear deal," the Russian Foreign Ministry noted.

It should be noted that the stumbling block between Baku and Tehran  was the action of the Azerbaijani security forces against the Iranian  trucks on the Goris-Kapan road of the Syunik region of the Republic  of Armenia, 21 km of which were under the control of the Azerbaijani  side. The Azerbaijani side is demanding $ 200-400 from Iranian  drivers for travel through this section as a customs fee. Moreover,  two Iranian drivers were detained for allegedly delivering cargo to  Nagorno-Karabakh.  

Yesterday, Iran announced the closure of the airspace for the  Azerbaijani air force, and then civil aviation. This was a response  to the closure in Baku of the office of Ojag Nejat, the  representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.  Although initially it was reported that Baku, in response to the  closure of its airspace, closed the office of the representative of  the Iranian Supreme Leader.
