Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke yesterday evening about regional developments on the sidelines of the 22nd summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation in Samarkand. We learn this from the official website of the President of Iran.
Raisi noted that Iran is opposed to paternalism.
“The basis of our policy in the region will be that the fate of countries must be decided by themselves, and their national sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected,” said Raisi.
According to him, Iran supports its friends and neighbours in times of crisis; Iran is a friend to its neighbours.
At the same time, Raisi noted that he welcomes the “liberation of the territory of Karabakh.”
