ArmInfo. The establishment of peace, stability and security in the Caucasus region is very important for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iranian President Ebrahim  Raisi, speaking at the 22nd SCO summit in Samarkand, stated.

"Experiences like Afghanistan and Syria should be a lesson and should  be avoided. The implementation of NATO policy in any form is a threat  to different regions. Establishing peace, stability and security in  the Caucasus region is very important for the Islamic Republic of  Iran. We have always stressed the need to respect territorial  integrity, national sovereignty and rejected any change in the  recognized borders between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the  Republic of Armenia. The parties must resolve their differences  through dialogue and peacefully on the basis of international law,"  Raisi said. As the Islamic Republic of Iran defends its national  interests and security and the region, the Iranian President  continued, it also declares its readiness to help resolve differences  between these two neighboring countries.
