In a significant statement regarding international relations, President Masoud Pezeshkian of the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasized the importance of respecting the rights and territorial integrity of all nations. This principle is deemed essential for maintaining global peace and stability.

Pezeshkian made his remarks during an interview with Azerbaijani Television (AzTV) as he addressed ongoing disputes between Armenia and Azerbaijan. He stated, “We must respect each other’s territorial integrity and not have any aspirations for the territory,” highlighting that conflicts often arise when one nation seeks to claim lands belonging to another.

Discussing Iran’s role in facilitating a peaceful resolution to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, Pezeshkian noted that all nations, including Iran, must adhere to established international frameworks designed to settle differences. He asserted, “We have always defended the rights of Azerbaijan and, naturally, within the same framework, we also defend the rights of Armenia.”

Strengthening Relations Between Iran and Azerbaijan

During his recent visit to Azerbaijan, President Pezeshkian praised the deepening ties between the two neighboring countries. He remarked, “We are traveling to Azerbaijan because we never feel alienated there,” emphasizing the cultural and communal bonds that unite them despite any geographical barriers.

  • Pezeshkian plans to discuss various collaborative areas, including:
    • Academic relations
    • Commercial partnerships
    • Scientific cooperation
    • Cultural exchanges
    • Artistic collaborations
    • Economic development

He added, “Given the capabilities and skills we have in terms of science, economy, industry, culture, health, medicine, and trade, we can communicate and help with each other.”

Future Prospects for Iran-Azerbaijan Relations

Pezeshkian also discussed the initiative to create a land connection between Azerbaijan’s mainland and Nakhchivan through Iran, stating, “The project is progressing rapidly. It has already been agreed upon, and there will be no issues in creating a land link between Iran’s territory and Azerbaijan’s mainland with Nakhchivan.”

He emphasized that the implementation of a railway route would be a focal point of discussions, as it aims to enhance trade and cultural ties between the nations. Furthermore, he mentioned new agreements in the field of energy, particularly focusing on green energy initiatives, stating, “We can obtain clean energy from existing dams and some under construction.”

Finally, Pezeshkian highlighted the shared interests of Iran and Azerbaijan at international forums, noting their aligned positions in organizations such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the United Nations. He concluded, “If we strengthen our connections, BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Eurasian Economic Union are the next step in cooperation.”
