This was stated by Abbas Badakhshan Zohuri, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Armenia, during a conversation with reporters, as reported by Sputnik Armenia.

“Iran's stance is that the problems between regional countries should be resolved with their participation. Other countries can contribute to ensuring security and peace in the region. Resolving issues with the participation of regional countries can ensure security and peace that is based on dialogue and discussions,” Zohuri stated.
