“We are guided by the official positions of officials. If we dig a little into the internet, we will see interest expressed by Iranian officials, for example, toward TRIPP, as well as toward the opportunities that TRIPP will bring to the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Armenia's Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said during an interview with journalists.
“I do not want to say that I am unaware of the concerns. Yes, there were questions in Iran about TRIPP and its alleged security component. You may recall that before, there were discussions about some kind of third-party security forces within TRIPP and so on, and our Iranian partners have seen that no such thing is envisaged by the signed documents. They will also read the documents signed today and see that all infrastructures will be entirely under the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the Republic of Armenia, which excludes the deployment of any third-party security forces.
Now, such questions may still arise, but they will read and see that there is nothing of the sort,” Mirzoyan said.
