The RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that Minister Ara Ayvazyan said this during an expanded-format meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
“Our region is now facing new, more serious challenges, which have been created as a result of Azerbaijan’s dangerous attempt to resolve the Karabakh conflict by force. Armenia does not consider that the results of Azerbaijan’s attack and use of force against Artsakh can create a basis for lasting peace or be viewed as an opportunity for regional cooperation.
Iran is an important country in the region, and we respect Iran’s approaches, through which it builds its relations with its immediate neighbours. Nevertheless, we would like to stress once again that only a lasting peace that addresses the interests of all, in which there are no so-called “winners and losers,” “victories or defeats,” can create real guarantees for the promotion of security, stability and development in the region”:
