Mehdi Sobhani: Iran is in favor of unblocking regional communications, but under Armenian sovereignty

ArmInfo. Iran's position on  unblocking regional communications is very clear: the IRI is in favor  of unblocking, but it should take place under the sovereignty of  Armenia.

This was stated by Iranian Ambassador Mehdi Sobhani in an interview  with journalists on August 9. He was referring to the statement made  by Baku regarding the removal of the unblocking clause from the draft  peace treaty. "We are in favor of unblocking, but this unblocking  should take place under the sovereignty of Armenia," the Iranian  diplomat noted. When asked about the consequences of delaying the  unblocking, Sobhani acknowledged that unblocking would result in an  increase in traffic.

"But there should be a mutual understanding and agreement on this  issue. If there is an agreement, it means that we are moving closer  to peace. This is for the benefit of the region, for the benefit of  the peoples of the region. We are in favor of what it is doing  towards the establishment of  lasting peace," the diplomat  emphasized.
