Ambassador: Iran considers any geopolitical change in the South  Caucasus dangerous

ArmInfo.Iran considers any geopolitical change in the South Caucasus dangerous, and we oppose it. Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali  stated this on  December 14.

Recalling that Tehran fully supports the territorial integrity of the  countries of the South Caucasus, he noted that the issue of security  and stability in the South Caucasus is very important for the Iranian  side.

At the same time, referring to the 3+3 regional platform, Jalali  noted that Iran considers this format very successful for the South  Caucasus and actively participated in the first meeting of this  format in Moscow.

"As for the 3 + 3 platform, you know that Iran is one of the  participants in this format. We took an active part in its first  meeting. We believe that this is a good and favorable platform. We  consider the path taken by the six participants of this format to be  the most optimal, I mean dialogue, cooperation, as well as  negotiations," the Iranian ambassador said.

In December 2021, the first meeting of the 3+3 consultative regional  platform was held in Moscow, co- chaired by the Deputy Foreign  Ministers of the Russian Federation, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and  the Director General of the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Georgia refused  to participate in the initiative.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that  preparations were underway for a new meeting of the 3 + 3 platform;  the date and the agenda of the meeting are being agreed upon.
