Ambassador: Iran is against any road on the territory of Armenia that  would serve as a corridor 

ArmInfo.Iran is against any road on the territory of Armenia that would  serve as a corridor, as  stated by Iranian Ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, during a press conference in Yerevan on February 6.

 "Iran is not against unblocking roads, as long as it is done with respect for territorial  integrity and national sovereignty. We support unblocking roads in  Armenia, but it must be carried out while respecting territorial  integrity and national sovereignty. We oppose the roads that operate  according to a corridor logic," Sobhani added. 

Touching upon the route from mainland Azerbaijan to its exclave  Nakhichevan through Iranian territory, Sobhani recalled that  Azerbaijan has always had connections with Nakhichevan. After 2020,  Azerbaijan came even closer to both the borders of Armenia and Iran.  "The previous route that Azerbaijan used was relatively long. We have  proposed a new route, and after the completion of road construction  work, the distance will be 50 km. At the same time, movement through  Iranian territory will be carried out in compliance with Iranian laws  and within the framework of Iran's sovereignty," the Iranian  ambassador noted.
