Mirzoyan: Armenian-Iranian border has always been peaceful

 Mirzoyan: Armenian-Iranian border has always been peaceful

ArmInfo.The situation on the border between Armenia and Iran has always been peaceful. There have never been any issues there. Armenian MFA Ararat Mirzoyan stated this after talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on January 21, in response to a question about whether it could be expected that the Armenian-Iranian border would become even more stable following the signing of the agreement on strategic  partnership between the Russian Federation and Iran.  Mirzoyan was  surprised by the way the question was phrased, as there have never  been any incidents on that section of the border. "To be honest, I am  surprised by this formulation of the question, as the situation on  the border between Armenia and Iran has always been peaceful and  stable. There have never been any issues there, so I cannot  understand how it will become more peaceful. It will continue to  remain peaceful," he noted.  

Touching upon Armenia's membership in  the CSTO, Mirzoyan highlighted the strong bilateral agreements that  Armenia has with Russia ahead of schedule. "We are allies and we have  very good neighborly, partnership relations with Iran. Now Russia is  also developing a successful partnership with Iran. I believe that  all countries will benefit from this partnership," Mirzoyan added.   Regarding the withdrawal of Russian border guards from the checkpoint  on the border with Iran starting from December 30, 2024, Mirzoyan  mentioned that this service was temporary, and Armenia is now capable  of independently guarding this section of the border. "I don't think  there is a significant source for a political scandal here either,"  the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry noted.
