Zarif made the remarks in a meeting with his Armenian counterpart Ara Ayvazyan in Yerevan on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Describing Armenia as an important neighboring country for Iran, the Iranian foreign minister said the two nations, as two ancient civilizations with a long history, enjoy friendly relations based on good neighborliness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

He further hailed as “courageous” Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's decision to agree a ceasefire to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict last year, because, he said, otherwise the region would have suffered from a prolonged conflict.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Additionally, the Iranian foreign minister expressed regret at the humanitarian damage caused by recent clashes in the region and voiced Iran's readiness to provide assistance in this regard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The latest round of clashes in the disputed Karabakh region became the worst fighting in the region in decades. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The decades-long Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan flared up in late September, resulting in military and civilian casualties on both sides.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hostilities ended after the sides agreed to a Moscow-brokered ceasefire in November, which secured territorial advances for Azerbaijan in Karabakh and seven surrounding districts and the deployment of Russian peacekeepers to the region.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Since the truce, the two ex-Soviet republics have accused each other of breaching the peace deal that ended six weeks of fierce fighting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Iran, an immediate neighbor to both Armenia and Azerbaijan, has voiced its readiness to do its utmost to help consolidate the ceasefire. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but has been populated by ethnic Armenians.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The presence of foreign terrorists in the region is a common concern of the two countries, Zarif said, adding that Iran stands ready to cooperate with Armenia and other neighboring states to help promote economic development for the common interests of regional countries.<\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2021-01-27 20:43:50","content_date_finish":"2021-01-27 20:43:50","content_date_register":"2021-01-27 20:55:17","content_date_last_edit":"2021-01-27 20:55:17","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":"17253","tag_word":"Javad Zarif,Javad Zarif,Javad Zarif,Islamic Republic,Islamic Republic,Islamic Republic,Armenia\u2019s territorial integrit,Armenia\u2019s territorial integrit,Armenia\u2019s territorial integrit","tag_service":"0","tag_total":"23","tag_soundex":"","attach_token":"1895284218","attach_date_register":"2021-01-27 20:55:11","attach_id":"13549","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"1000","attach_img_height":"558","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"667","visit_date_last":"2024-11-24 07:33:14","attach_title":"Armenia\u2019s territorial integrity Iran\u2019s red line: FM Zarif 2","node_title":"Important,Iran,News","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":117, \"left\":45, \"right\":46},{\"node_id\":125, \"left\":62, \"right\":63}]","node_number":"9","allowable_node":"9"}]]
