We are in consultations with Iran: Nikol Pashinyan

We will continue our consultations within the framework of the CSTO, with Russia, as we also have bilateral security cooperation with Russia. We are in discussions with Iran as well. Today, Iran's Foreign Minister was in Yerevan. We had very serious substantive discussions.

Nikol Pashinyan stated this in Parliament while discussing the situation at the border. According to Pashinyan, Armenia's post-war security system is currently undergoing very serious trials: “We are confident that the CSTO and the Armenian-Russian security cooperation will successfully overcome this challenge.”

The acting Prime Minister noted that the Minister of Defense of Armenia will travel to Russia for a meeting with Shoigu. “One thing is clear: Azerbaijani forces must withdraw from our borders. We are doing everything to resolve the issues diplomatically; however, if a reasonable solution is not found, we must think about preserving and defending our territorial integrity and sovereignty. However, I want to emphasize that it is Russia and the CSTO that urge us as partners to resolve the issue politically.”
