“I received the Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia and the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Special Representative for Caucasus Affairs on Wednesday,” Araghchi said in an Instagram post on Thursday.
“We discussed international issues focusing on political developments in the Caucasus region,” he added.
He said he had reiterated that while the Islamic Republic of Iran supports establishing peace and stability in relations between neighboring countries, it also maintains a special focus on preserving regional geopolitical stability and its national interests.
Iran remains particularly sensitive to any plan or project that might restrict its transportation access or limit the country’s interests, the foreign minister added.
Armenia: Friendship between Iran and Armenia will remain strong
Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan, who is on a visit to Tehran, has met and conferred with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
During the meeting on Wednesday, the two officials reviewed the latest developments across the region.
The Armenian diplomat had already met with Ali-Akbar Velayati, an advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution on international affairs.
Velayati criticized “extra-regional countries” whose presence he said causes instability, warning that any action threatening Iran’s national security would receive an appropriate response.
He expressed support for expanding cooperation with Armenia and emphasized Iran’s commitment to peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Kostanyan provided an update on recent regional developments and negotiations in Washington, stressing the importance of maintaining historical ties and good neighborly relations between Armenia and Iran.
He noted that his country is deeply committed to friendly relations with Iran and values these historical bonds. Kostanyan further assured that the friendship between the two countries would remain strong.
