Our countries set a goal not to allow a third country to interfere in our cooperation.

Another topic concerns the North-South highway. The Iranian side expressed its readiness to participate in this program, Ruhani said.
"We are ready to increase gas supplies to Armenia and start trilateral cooperation in the export of gas to Georgia," said Rouhani.
Nikol Pashinyan, in turn, noted that in the matter of increasing the supply of Iranian gas to Armenia, it is necessary to agree on a price. "This is a fundamentally important issue in the context of the attractiveness of the transaction," he noted.
Pashinyan confirmed that Armenia is ready to become a transit country for Iranian gas to Georgia.
