"Zangezur Corridor" is not directed against anyone, on the contrary, it will serve the benefit of all interested parties.  According to the Azerbaijani media, the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said this.

 "During my last conversation, we discussed the issue of Zangezur corridor with Russian officials.  I don't think that Armenia is capable of blocking this corridor.  As for Iran, I think that Iran will not do that either, considering its interest in regional communication projects.  Those projects are not directed against anyone, but on the contrary, they will serve only for the benefit of all interested parties," said Aliyev.

 It should be noted that Iran's high-ranking officials have repeatedly emphasized the importance of the territorial integrity of the countries in the region and the inviolability of internationally recognized borders, as well as noted that any geopolitical change in the region will face a serious response from Iran.

 Igor Khovaev, the special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the issue of the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, had a meeting with Ilham Aliyev in Azerbaijan yesterday.

 According to the press release of the Azerbaijani president's office, there was an exchange of ideas regarding the negotiation process of the settlement of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the preparation of the peace treaty.  Aliyev noted that, allegedly, the Armenian side does not fulfill the obligations assumed by the tripartite agreement of November 9, 2020.

 Before that, Igor Khovaev had been in Armenia, where he had meetings with RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan.
