Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, in the capital Tehran, following the 3+3 format "Regional Cooperation Platform for the Establishment of Permanent Peace and Stability in the South Caucasus"meeting, evaluated the platform and the agenda at a press conference.
IRAN WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE
Stating that it is no secret that Iran openly declares its support for the Palestinian resistance against the Israeli occupation within the framework of religious, national, and humanitarian values, Amir-Abdollahian said, "We will continue to support the Palestinian resistance against the occupying Zionist regime with political, international, and media power." he said.
Stating that Israel is an occupier in Palestinian territories, Amir-Abdollahian added, "According to international law, those whose lands are occupied can arm themselves and use weapons to defend themselves. Some Western countries, especially under the control of the US, are trying to completely ignore the Israeli occupation. They are pursuing the condemnation of Hamas and the Palestinian resistance." he assessed.
Reporting that the issue of Palestine was discussed by foreign ministers at the meeting held in Tehran, Amir-Abdollahian said, "The foreign ministers of Turkey and Russia, in particular, had strong and clear stances on stopping the attacks on Gaza, delivering humanitarian aid, and not targeting civilians."
US SENT MESSAGES TO IRAN TWICE
The US and Western states have so far [sent messages] to Hezbollah to prevent a new front from being opened against Israel Stating that they had sent "dozens of messages," Abdollahian continued his speech as follows:
"The US also sent messages to Iran twice. In the first, they said 'we do not want to expand the war.' In the second, they asked Iran to exercise restraint. The US claims it does not want to expand or escalate the war, but on the other hand, with the weapons it sent two weeks ago, it proved that it supports the attacks on Palestinian civilians, children, and women in Gaza. I am also addressing (US President Joe) Biden from here: End the hypocrisy. Was this the human rights you defended for the world during your election campaign?"
Stating that the foreign ministers had the opportunity to hold consultations at the meeting held in Tehran, Abdollahian "The slogan of the summit we held is 'It is time for peace, cooperation, and development in the South Caucasus.' I hope that after this summit, the language of bullying will no longer exist in the South Caucasus. After the meeting to be held in Turkey, we want to hold these meetings in Baku and Yerevan." he said.
ARMENIA RECOGNIZES AZERBAIJAN'S SOVEREIGNTY IN KARABAKH
Expressing that the meeting provided a platform where they hope to witness the establishment of stable peace and security in the South Caucasus as soon as possible, Abdollahian "Armenia's recognition of Azerbaijan's sovereignty over Karabakh and Azerbaijan's declaration that ensuring the safety and protection of Armenians living in Karabakh is its primary responsibility is a positive step." he said.
Abdollahian noted that the geopolitical situation in the region was also discussed at the 3+3 format meeting, and added the following:
"In my meeting with (Azerbaijani President Ilham) Aliyev in Baku about three months ago, he said that they have no intention of changing the borders and geopolitics of the South Caucasus. Furthermore, regarding the Zangezur transport corridor, between the two countries from Iran to Nakhchivan..."
