Armenia has reaffirmed that it has no intention of taking any actions directed against Iran, with senior officials stressing that relations with Tehran remain friendly and constructive.
Speaking to the media, Armenian parliament speaker Alen Simonyan responded to recent remarks by Iran’s ambassador to Yerevan, Khalil Shirgholami, who said there was a perception in Tehran that Armenia was becoming a platform for forces hostile to Iran. The ambassador also expressed concern over the implementation of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project.
Simonyan rejected those concerns, stating that Armenia has never acted against Iran and does not plan to do so in the future. He argued that the TRIPP project could create additional economic and logistical opportunities for all countries in the region, including Iran, rather than posing a threat to regional stability.
He added that as Iran’s internal situation stabilises and regional tensions ease, Tehran would come to see that the concerns raised were unfounded. Simonyan also questioned why Armenia’s 23-kilometre border with Iran would be singled out in the event of any hypothetical actions by the United States, noting that Iran shares borders with more than ten countries.
According to Simonyan, Armenian authorities remain in constant contact with their Iranian counterparts and are prepared to provide all necessary explanations to address any doubts. He emphasised that Yerevan values its relationship with Tehran and remains committed to dialogue and transparency in order to maintain trust and regional stability.
