“We recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries within the framework of international laws,” said Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian.
Iran does not recognize the annexation of Crimea and the four regions of Ukraine, despite “excellent relations with Moscow”, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian told TRT World news agency.
“We recognize the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries within the framework of international laws, that’s why, despite the excellent relations of Tehran and Moscow, we did not recognize the secession of Crimea … Lugansk and Donetsk regions from Ukraine. That is why we insist on the position of principle in our foreign policy: the conflict in Ukraine is not a solution and we believe in our position as a fundamental political principle” said Amdolakhian (quote from Ria Novosti)
The previous day, another traditional “ally” of Moscow, the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, made a similar statement. Vucic said that despite “traditionally good” relations between Belgrade and Moscow, Serbia does not support every single Kremlin decision, or even most of them.
