Armenia plays the role of secret intermediary between France and Iran and transmits messages between the parties.
This was reported by Caliber.Az citing diplomatic sources.
Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan reportedly held telephone conversations with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Aragchi (November 14) and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot (November 16). During the meeting between Pashinyan and Macron on November 7 on the sidelines of the European Political Union summit in Budapest, the latter instructed the Armenian prime minister to send messages to Iran. Drawing on its long experience in the Middle East and Africa, France is using Pashinyan to make Armenia its new client, effectively turning it into its new colony.
Unexpected resignations in Armenia
The unexpected resignations in Armenia are related to these events. It should be noted that these days the Minister of the Interior, Vaghe Ghazaryan, the head of the Anti-Corruption Committee, Sasun Khachatryan, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, Argishti Kyaramyan, and other officials resigned. It should be noted that Pashinyan’s schoolmate and close comrade-in-arms, the Minister of the Interior, played a key role in implementing harsh repressions against the opposition. But despite this, the West, which considers Pashinyan as its new representative, remains silent.
The leak of information about the secret negotiations between France and Iran through Armenia occurred precisely through those who resigned; Among them, as well as among those who remained close to Pashinyan, there are many people related to the United States and other Western structures. Therefore, Pashinyan decided to say goodbye to them. This information is 100% confirmed by Caliber.Az sources.
Double standards of the Macron regime
These developments demonstrate the hypocrisy of the Macron regime, which is conducting separate negotiations with Iran, deceiving even Western countries. While the European Union discusses and even applies new sanctions against Iran, Macron begins secret negotiations with Tehran through Armenia.
It is also a betrayal of France’s NATO ally, the United States, including President-elect Donald Trump, who seeks to toughen Washington’s policy against Iran.
Historical relations between France and Iran
In fact, given Paris’ traditional interest in Tehran, there is nothing surprising about this. Suffice it to remember that Ayatollah Khomeini was exiled in France and after the Islamic Revolution he returned to Iran on an Air France plane. Until recently, French companies such as TOTAL and Peugeot continued to operate in Iran despite Western sanctions.
Arms supply to Armenia
In this context, it is necessary to mention Iran’s mediation in the arming of Armenia by France. As is known, part of the “Caesar” artillery systems and other weapons were delivered to Armenia through the territory of Iran.
Armenia remains an important link in the process of recruiting Iranian citizens for French intelligence. This makes its territory one of the most favorable places for this type of operations.
We have detailed information about the messages that France sends to Iran through Armenia. This information will be published if necessary.
