Iranian website: If Azerbaijan lifts visa regime for Turkey, Iran will close Nakhichevan border
If Azerbaijan lifts visa regime for Turkey, not for Iran, Iran will block Azerbaijan’s communication with Nakhichevan through its territory, says an article published on Arannews.ir.
It is reported that the meeting of Azerbaijan-Turkey High Level Strategic Cooperation Council in Izmir, presided over by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, addressed Azerbaijan’s lifting visa requirements for Turkey, among other issues.
“In consideration of the probability of the resumption of war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan will have to communicate with Nakhichevan through the territory of Iran,” says the article.
