Iran’s policy is based on good neighborliness; ties with a neighbor does not mean those relations are against another neighbor.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry responded on “Twitter”, in this way to the statement made by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in the occupied Shushi city of Artsakh that the exercises of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps “were aimed at protecting Armenia”.

“Our principled policy is based on good neighborliness and expansion of relations with all neighbors, and strengthening of ties with a neighbor does not mean those relations are against another neighbor,” the post states.
