Baku/21.10.22/Turan: Iran promises protection to the Armenians in Zangezur, this was announced today in Yerevan and the city of Kafan, where the Iranian Consulate General was opened. The opening ceremony was attended by the foreign ministers of Iran and Armenia.
When asked by News.am what the consul thinks about the residents of Syunik, who live “in an atmosphere of constant fear” 2 km from the border with Azerbaijan, Consul Mortez Varamin said: “I advise the residents of the city of Kafan not to worry, we are here for the Armenian people.” Earlier, at a briefing in Yerevan, Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian once again repeated the thesis that Iran would not allow changes to Armenia's borders.
In the city of Kafan (60 km from the border with Iran) there is no Iranian diaspora or Iranian business interests. Apparently, the only purpose of the Iranians will be to spy on the actions of Azerbaijan on the border. --02D--

Contrary to the prosecution's claims that Yagublu was involved in handing over money to facilitate a visa for Elshan Huseynov in the Zabrat settlement, his lawyers argued that he was actually attending a National Council meeting in the Pirshaghi settlement at that time. Witnesses can confirm this. The court partially granted the request, deciding to call four additional witnesses. The next court session is scheduled for October 18.
