PanArmenian, Armenia
Oct 7 2021

PanARMENIAN.Net – Minister of Roads and Urban Development of Iran Rostam Ghasemi has said that joint infrastructure projects with Armenia will change the transit map of the region.

Ghasemi said in a tweet that thanks to the special mission entrusted to the deputy ministers of the two countries, the problem of what he called “the Caucasian corridor” will be completely changed.

According to him, all those who created the problems should know that they can’t block roads in front of Iran. At the same time, he added, it will be difficult to restore “burned bridges”.

The Iranian official was probably hinting Azerbaijan, whose police stationed on the Goris-Kapan highway in Armenia demand payments from Iranian trucks drivers.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
