Several points should be reminded to Russian officials:
1. Russia’s foreign ministry has made statements contrary to Iran’s expectations. Russia is well aware, through Iran’s top officials, of Iran’s clear stance against any corridor, such as Zangezur, that connects Nakhchivan to Azerbaijan. Thus, this position is surprising.
2. Moscow knows that Iran, as an independent country with clear positions, has always stood against global domination efforts, including by the U.S. and the West. Iran’s resistance since the revolution confirms this strategy.
3. Iran will not accept any changes to its borders or security perimeters anywhere.
4. There’s no justification for prioritizing one country’s security in the South Caucasus over another. Why does Russia think using the Zangezur corridor will resolve its issues with Armenia?
5. When Russia was at war with Ukraine, the U.S. tried to open a path through the South Caucasus, but Iran, alone, resisted NATO and the U.S., with Biden acknowledging that Iran is the main obstacle to opening the Zangezur corridor.
6. Russia should remember that, during the last two years of the Ukraine conflict, Iran, led by its Supreme Leader, has resisted the excesses of opportunistic actors, especially Western ones.
7. Russia’s recent stance is perplexing given Iran’s clear opposition to the corridor and global recognition of Iran’s stance.
8. Iran and Russia are working towards strategic relations, as emphasized by both Iranian leaders and President Putin. Russia’s foreign ministry’s stance contradicts the strategic agreements between the two nations.
9. It seems Russia’s foreign ministry mistakenly believes the Zangezur corridor could solve its problems with Armenia, despite Iran’s clear opposition.
10. Opening the Zangezur corridor would close one of Iran’s doors to Europe and reduce its number of neighbors, conflicting with strategic relations between Iran and Russia. Any corridor would provoke Western resistance and create a new source of tension near Iran’s sensitive northwestern borders. Creating new conflict zones globally won’t solve issues but lead to perpetual chaos.
