The Iranian ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, has categorically denied that any territorial corridor through Armenia was established in recent peace agreements. The diplomat clarified that neither the term “corridor” nor provisions for long-term land leases appear in the documents signed between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Speaking about the specifics of the agreements, Sobhani emphasized that the language used in the official texts does not support claims about transit arrangements that would compromise Armenian sovereignty. His statements come amid ongoing discussions about regional connectivity following the normalization of relations between the two South Caucasus nations.
The clarification addresses concerns that have circulated since the signing of the peace deal, with various interpretations emerging about potential transit routes through Armenian territory. Official sources now confirm that no such provisions for special transit corridors exist within the framework of the agreement.
