I will advise the people of Kapan not to worry, we are here for the Armenian people.  Consul General of Iran Morteza Abedin Varamin said this in an interview to NEWS.am, referring to the journalist’s statement that people in Kapan live in an environment of constant fear.

When asked why the consulate in Syunik is opening right now, the consul answered:

 “We are messengers of peace in Armenia and we want to see Armenia as a stable country.  Thus, as noted by Iran’s high-ranking officials, we cannot accept any change of borders in the region.”
