ArmInfo. The Iranian Ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, has expressed Tehran's attitude towards the EU mission in Armenia. Touching upon this issue at a press conference in Yerevan, the diplomat noted that the EU mission is not a military one, and the Armenian government has stated that they were deployed to maintain stability and prevent tensions.
<This is understandable and acceptable to us. We respect the policy of the Armenian government to diversify its relations. Armenian authorities have stated that developing relations with the EU and its members can create opportunities for the development of Armenian-Iranian relations. If Armenia can strengthen its ties with European countries and leverage them to enhance Armenian-Iranian relations, we will view this positively>, Sobhani added.
