The Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei accused the Americans of being totally untrustworthy and are seeking sedition, corruption, division and war everywhere.

During a meeting with visiting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian in Tehran on Wednesday, Imam Khamenei said that “Iran and Armenia should work to further boost their relations irrespective of opposition from the US that seeks sedition, division and war across the world.”

The Leader underlined the need for Iran and Armenia to put the goal of achieving ever-growing friendship and cooperation on their agenda to serve the interests of the two countries.

“Indeed, the Americans are totally untrustworthy and are seeking sedition, corruption, division and war everywhere, and they are against Iran-Armenia relations as well as [other] nations’ interests, but we have a duty to boost our cooperation and interactions in response,” he noted.

Imam Khamenei described Iran and Armenia as good neighbors that enjoy historical ties and underlined the need for raising the level of their economic cooperation, stressing, “Unlike what the Americans desire, the relations between Iran and Armenia should be solid, constant and friendly.”

The Leader mentioned amicable relations between Iran and Armenia throughout the history and said, “Iran and Armenia have never had any problems with each other, and we feel duty-bound under Islamic teachings to practice good neighborliness. Of course, American officials like [National Security Adviser] John Bolton have no understanding of such issues and human relations.”

In parallel, he said the current level of economic cooperation between Iran and Armenia was way below the potential of the two countries, calling for the two sides to seriously follow up on the implementation of the agreements signed during the visit.

The Leader also touched on the Karabakh issue and said the dispute could be settled through continued negotiations between Armenian and Azeri officials and expressed Iran’s readiness to contribute to its resolution.    

The Armenian premier, for his part, described his meetings in Tehran as “constructive and promising” and hoped for the immediate implementation of the agreements signed in his visit. 

Pashinian said the history of Iran-Armenia good ties could contribute to further promotion of relations.

“Armenia has never joined and will not join any measure against Iran and we believe the development of ties with Iran serve our country and people,” he said.
