Relations between Tehran and Baku are at a very good level. Our relations with Iran are excellent and will continue. Recently, we welcomed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in the city of Khankendi, which was a positive event.

Axar.az reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said this in an interview with Iran’s Mehr news agency during the 3rd Shusha Global Media Forum.

“The construction process of the corridor over the Araz River is progressing well. This project is almost complete on our side, and we are waiting for the Iranian company to finish the part that belongs to Iran. We have completed an important section of this corridor in Agbend-Kelaleh-Julfa, and I believe the project will become operational by the end of this year,” the president stated.

According to Ilham Aliyev, a route is being built through Iranian territory to Julfa and will soon be put into use as a railway line.
