WE HAVE AND WILL HAVE RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA: IRANIAN AMBASSADOR TO AZERBAIJAN
YEREVAN, MARCH 18. ARMINFO. Each state has its own foreign policy and
decides on its own who to have relations with, Iranian Ambassador to
Azerbaijan Afshar Suleymani said when asked why Iran does not sever
its relations with Armenia like Turkey did.
It is our internal affair. Like Azerbaijan Iran decides itself who
to have relations with. We have and will have relations with Armenia
as they are our neighbors, says Suleymani.
At the same time he notes that Iran's relations with Azerbaijan are
on higher level - 3-4 times bigger commodity turnover than with
Armenia. Last year Iran built camps for refugees in Azerbaijan,
with no such projects in Armenia.
As to Turkey, that country has $120 mln unofficial commodity
turnover, air flights and various contacts with Armenia. They just
lack diplomatic relations because Armenia has territorial claims
against Turkey and there is also the problem of the Armenian genocide,
sys Suleymani.
