During an extended meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Armenian Foreign Minister Ara Ayvazyan said

Now our region confronts new serious challenges amid Azerbaijan’s dangerous attempt to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by force. Armenia does not consider that the results of Azerbaijan’s aggression against Artsakh and the use of force can create a basis for lasting peace or be considered an opportunity for regional cooperation.

Iran is an important country in the region, and we respect Iran’s approach of building relations with its immediate neighbors. However, we would like to once again emphasize that only lasting peace that addresses the interests of all, that doesn’t have “winners and losers” and so-called “victories or defeats”, can create real guarantees for the advancement of security, stability and development in the region.
