ArmInfo. Iran will not tolerate geopolitical changes in the South Caucasus. Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian stated this on October 6 in Moscow at a briefing after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.
Noting that the conversation with Lavrov on regional issues was breakthrough, the Iranian Minister said: "As for the South Caucasus, we have concerns that we discussed with Mr. Lavrov. We believe that the region will certainly no longer tolerate exorbitant demands. We are friendly and fraternal towards our neighbors. And we are dissatisfied with the fact that statements are being made here and disappointment arises on the occasion of the development of relations between Iran and one of its neighbors."
At the same time, he expressed his conviction that Iran's neighbors should respond positively to the Iranian policy aimed at developing good-neighborly relations.
"We, of course, will not tolerate geopolitical changes and changes in the map in the Caucasus. And we have serious concerns about the presence of terrorists and Zionists in this region," the Iranian Foreign Minister said, adding that Tehran will not stand on ceremony with anyone on the issue of ensuring its own and regional security.
Amirabdollahian noted that Iran's message to its neighbors is friendship and ensuring the interests of all countries in the region.
At the same time, he added that Lavrov spoke about regional dialogues with the participation of Iran. "We believe that dialogue and conversation with the region, of course, is a fundamental tool for the development of relations in the region, ensuring its sustainable security and stability," he summed up.
