Interference by foreign countries in regional affairs will not  contribute to sustainable security- Tehran 

ArmInfo. The Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes the importance of strengthening peace and stability in the South Caucasus region. This was stated on August 15  by First Vice President of the IRI Mohammad Reza Aref, speaking as an  observer at a meeting of the intergovernmental council of the EAEU  member states.

According to him, Iran welcomed the peace agreement between Armenia  and Azerbaijan. Tehran, while declaring its unwavering position on  respecting the territorial integrity of countries, believes that the  interference of foreign states in the affairs of the region will not  contribute to sustainable security.

On August 8, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev signed a joint "declaration of peace" in  Washington. It provides for a joint appeal to the Organization for  Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) to terminate the OSCE Minsk  process and related structures, as well as the creation of a  transport corridor through Armenian territory that will connect  Azerbaijan with its Nakhchivan exclave. The TRIPP (Trump Route for  International Peace and Prosperity) project, a 42-km road in southern  Armenia that will hand over control of the road to the United States  for 99 years, according to experts, is capable of significantly  changing the geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus.

On the same day, the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan  initialed a peace agreement, which consists of 17 articles. The  preamble of the document states that the Republic of Armenia and the  Republic of Azerbaijan, recognizing the urgent need to establish a  just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the region, striving to  promote the achievement of this goal through the establishment of  interstate relations, guided by the Charter of the United Nations,  the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning  Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with  the Charter of the United Nations (1970), the Final Act of the  Helsinki Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (1975) and  the Almaty Declaration of On December 21, 1991, and striving to  develop relations based on the norms and principles enshrined in the  said documents, expressing mutual will to establish good-neighborly  relations among themselves, agreed to establish peace and interstate  relations.
