Saying that the developments in the South Caucasus affect the  security of the region, General Bagheri stressed that the  continuation of tension in this region is not in the interest of  Armenia, Azerbaijan, and other countries in the region.  He also  called for taking measures to resolve disputes and tensions in that  region.

Expressing Iran's readiness to dispatch observers to the borders of  Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Iranian military official emphasized that  there should not be any aggressive goal or intention behind the  improvement of the defense capabilities of any country.

"Peace and tranquility in the region are in the interest of all  countries, and security in the region must be ensured by the  countries of the region, and the presence of extra-regional forces is  contrary to the peace of the region," he further underlined.

Referring to the recent US military exercise in Armenia, General  Bagheri said that the presence of extra-regional forces will cause  instability.  Grigoryan, for his part, presented a report on the  latest developments in the Caucasus region," the source notes.
