Speaking in a joint press conference with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan on Tuesday, President Pezeshkian stressed the need for the Caucasus regional countries to avoid bringing in other countries from beyond the region to take care of security issues, adding that Iran attaches great importance to peace in the region.
He stressed that Iran supports peace in the Caucasus region between Azerbaijan and Armenia, adding that "Outsourcing the resolution of Caucasus issues to extra-regional forces will further complicate the situation in the region."
The president further said that "Iran is resolved to develop relations with Armenia in all areas and elevate them to a strategic level."
Prior to the news conference, the two countries' high-ranking officials signed as many as 10 memoranda of understanding to develop mutual cooperation in the presence of the two political leaders.
The MoUs were signed on the second day of Pezehskian’s visit, and encompassed different areas of diplomacy, economy, mines and industries, road and urban development, healthcare, environment, education, culture, social interaction, and tourism.
