Iran backs unblocking of regional transport routes, opposes any extraterritorial corridor – Ambassador

Iran stands for unblocking of regional transport routes, but will oppose creation of any extraterritorial corridor, Iran’s Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani said at a press conference in Yerevan.

“We are not against the unblocking of roads, but only if it is implemented based on the national and territorial sovereignty of the countries. We stand for unblocking of the roads in the territory of Armenia, but it must be done based on respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the Ambassador said.

He emphasized that “Iran oppose any road that would include the logic of a corridor.”
