Mohammad Javad Zarif
Tehran/22.01.21/Turan: On January 24, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will visit Baku as part of a regional tour. Irna agency reports that Zarif will be received by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and other officials.
The topic of the meetings will be "various aspects of bilateral relations and cooperation, as well as regional issues." In particular, they will discuss "the opportunities for cooperation created in the region after the liberation of territories in Nagorno-Karabakh, including the participation of Iranian companies in the restoration of Nagorno-Karabakh," the message says.
Note that Zarif will also visit Moscow, Tbilisi and Yerevan, where he will also discuss the issue of the Iranian side's participation in regional processes. In addition, Iran is concerned about plans to build a railroad and road to Nakhchivan via Armenia. This reduces the role of Iran, since until now Azerbaijan's land and air communications with Nakhchivan were carried out through Iranian territory. Tehran also persistently and at all levels offers its participation in the restoration of infrastructure in the liberated territories. -02D-
