YEREVAN.- A small country can never annex a part of the country which
is superior to its territory geographically and in terms of population,
Iran's Ambassador said.
Iran's Ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Reisi responded to a question
about Azerbaijan's constant statements about intention to annex West
Azerbaijan province of Iran. He recalled that Azerbaijan as a state
was founded only in 1918.
"Population of West Azerbaijan exceeds the population of the Republic
of Azerbaijan. Western and Eastern Azerbaijan provinces are important
regions for Iran and are integral parts of the Islamic Republic's,"
diplomat told reporters on Tuesday.
