Commander-in-Chief Muzaffar congratulated the people of Azerbaijan and Iran on the occasion of the liberation of the Azerbaijani-Iranian border, which was occupied during the 44-day Patriotic War.

The Azerbaijani side values ​​its borders with Iran as an opportunity for further development of trade and cooperation.

APA reports that Leyla Abdullayeva, the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan, said that "the Iranian side perceives the Zangezur Corridor as cutting the Iran-Armenia border.

Has this issue been discussed in contacts with the Iranian side?"

he said in response to the question.

"As a result of the occupation of Armenia, not only the railway connection with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which is an integral part of Azerbaijan, but also with Iran was cut off.

In accordance with the tripartite statement dated November 10, 2020, discussions are ongoing within the Commission on opening and restoring communications in the region.

In parallel, the Azerbaijani side has signed an agreement with Iran on the creation of infrastructure by passing through the territory of Iran to connect the East Zangezur economic region of Azerbaijan with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

According to the agreement reached, on September 22, 2022, the groundbreaking ceremony of the automobile bridge took place in Zangilan region with the participation of officials of both countries.

It is fundamentally wrong to describe the Zangezur Corridor as cutting the border between Iran and Armenia.

is far from reality.

Zangezur Corridor, on the other hand, is an important project that deepens the relations between our countries and promises new prospects for regional cooperation," the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.
