What they are saying:
Major General Mousavi: "The world is in a transition away from unipolarity and unilateralism. The Americans cannot tolerate this process and are trying through illegitimate and unlawful actions to impose their dominance, whereas the move beyond the unipolar order is inevitable.”
“Given America’s actions, our strategy has changed. If they err again, we will inflict heavy losses on them. The Iranian nation and Armed Forces are determined to stand firm against the hegemonic system to the very end."
“We are sincerely pleased with the progress toward peace and agreement between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia.”
Armenian Defense Suren Minister Papikyan stated that security and peace serve the interests of all regional countries, reaffirming Armenia’s support for a peaceful settlement process.
"The stability and inviolability of the borders between our two countries are of vital importance to us.”
