TEHRAN- The Russian Foreign Minister, who has come to Tehran to attend the second meeting of the "3+3" regional mechanism, met with the President of Iran.  

Lavrov visited Tehran for talks on the South Caucasus within the 3+3 Format, which includes the Caucasian nations of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. 

Raisi also held talks with other 3+3 foreign ministers.
 
In the meeting with the Armenian Foreign Minister, President Raisi said that Iran is ready to tackle the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict.

Emphasizing the importance of security in the Caucasus region, Raisi considered the interference of third parties as “harmful for peace and stability in the region”.

“Iran, considering its powerful and influential position, will help resolve the existing disputes between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia,” Raisi told Ararat Mirzoyan.         

Pointing to the destructive role of the West, the United States and the Israeli regime in establishing peace in the region, Raisi said that the ongoing war crimes in the Gaza Strip should be a lesson for all countries to know that these domineering governments and regimes would never be their true friends.

The current war crimes in the Gaza Strip are the symbol of the Zionists' racist and apartheid policies against the nations of the region, according to the Iranian president.

The President called the American policy of supporting the Zionists' criminality in Gaza as the continuation of its failed policy in Iraq and Afghanistan.
