It is a great opportunity for both governmes to have good information and our experiences and consider the needs of the two couries in differe areas. This cooperation will stabilize many of our areas. I am a very clear horizon in relationships May We have prepared the upstream documes that need to raise relations, and we hope that the private sector of the two couries, especially the benefits of the Iran -Eurasian Free Trade Agreeme, will use it.

-I would like to ask an importa question about the north-south corridor and the role of Iran and Russia. What is the situation right now? When we talked to you before, good progress had been made, how is the situation now?

-We are pleased to be the Islamic Republic of Iran and Federation Russia launched the north-south crossing; The north and south hub has three branches; It is an eastern branch that starts from Russia and reaches to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Iran. We started this branch. We started year 2; That is, before this year we didn’t have this branch of the process. About 6,000 tons of goods were passed through this year. Targeting I made about 2 million tonnes of goods carried from this route in year 2, we are pleased to be one and a half thousand tons in year 2 Targeting We reached the previous one. We hope that this figure will reach 5 million tonnes in year 2. This route has a capacity of 5 million tons and we have to reach this figure and later we can develop this branch. The next part is the middle branch. Which comes from Russia to the Caspian Sea and then to Iran. In year 2, more than 5 million tons of goods crossed the branch, and that is a good figure. The next part, the western branch and Jadiyeh That is shipped by 2 million tons of this route; But the Rasht-Astara piece has not yet been built. Fortunately, there is a very good relationship between the Russian Ministry of Transport and the Iranian Ministry of Roads and Urban Developme. I had a meeting with your Deputy Minister of Transport a few days ago; Reviewed the last situation with each other; Dear Dr. Medical, The boss Our republic allocated a good budget for the purchase of Rasht-Astara land. All the supreme leader of the revolution and The boss Our republic and The boss Republic and Prime Minister and Minister of Transportation Federation Russia is pursuing. This piece takes about three to four years to be constructed; But the north -south road is built. In this piece, we also decided to transport Astara and from Astara to Rasht, which is not yet built, carried the goods with a truck and coinued from Rasht again. All this is done now.

-Iran and Russia both have gas, there is a desire to collect efforts in this area, is there a possibility of understanding in this area?

-The argume was to transfer Russian gas through Iran. We fully agree; We signed the initial agreeme, negotiations between the two couries are underway. I can tell you that we have reached an understanding of more than 5 % in the negotiations, in one or two agreemes, no understanding yet, Inshallah In the near future, (April in May) we will have the joi commission of the two couries. The boss The joi commission on our behalf is Iran’s Minister of Petroleum, The boss The Joi Commission is also the Russian Minister of Energy. Both positions will meet in Moscow; We hope in those few remaining understanding and we can get the way Terrorism Provide Russian gas from Iran.

-Is the fundameal differences of minor or fundameal?

-There are talks on prices that we solve. Apart from these discussions, we have no other specific topic, we are sure that this will be resolved as well, because we are two couries whose relationships are based on mutual ierest and we talk at a balanced level, our conversations. Excellence And it is not monopoly. We help us to understand each other.

-Go to the Free Trade Zone between the two couries and the Comprehensive Treaty, are there areas that are fundameally and theoretically but are not implemeed for some reason?

-We have some issues that we need to solve objectively, we have complete cooperation documes, but business has some requiremes, one of which is to resolve bank monetary issues. We have to speed up our speed in this area; Because when traders do business, their goal and end is to get their profit and receive their own money. So we still have problems with monetary and banking, though we had a lot of talks and have gone a good way so far; But our issues are not fully resolved yet, or alongside these discussions. Campede We have the documes we have signed, but we need facilities, while we are only neighboring the Caspian and water discussion, we can communicate directly, but on the dirt path, we have iermediary couries. We must coordinate the iermediary couries and their ierests should Supply To work and work with us and you. In one part we need to cooperate with Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, in another area we need to coordinate with Azerbaijan. We have other ways to do it through Armenia and Georgia to Russia. Over time, this path must be opened and its problems will be resolved. So a discussion Campered And another discussion is iermediary couries that we need to coordinate. Another discussion but good logistics facilities we need to provide. In the Caspian, for example, we need to renovate and upgrade both naval couries, develop ports, have problems in one area of ​​Iranian ports, and in some areas of Russian ports. For example, we strengthen in Iran behind the coasts. Create good facilities. Your port capacities are good, but we need to reinforce the backward coast, your coastal ports are almost in Volga. Only one port of non – Volgai Have the same Makhach It is the castle, so we have to strengthen it. Self Volga It should be dredged regularly. While one of the problems Volga Is that wier transfers become difficult; Outline problems over us. These things that need to be resolved by the two couries are not merely resolved by signing the docume; Navy and port facilities must be strengthened.

-I also waed to ask about something else, your banks are braking or our banks?

-Because we were sanctions before you, your banks are waiting for sanctions to lift, we have to lift the sanctions and normalize banking relations. We did good things in this regard, for example, the confideial messengers of the two couries were connected, we had problems before, or in the areas of monetary and financial transfers. Lubricationهایی Done. But the speed needs to be increased. We expect our Russian friends to pay more atteion. Because in the economy sector everyone is trying not to be sanctioned. The two couries are now sanctions and they have to see today’s situation, we just had the first place in the boycott, today you have taken our place. Today you have more than 6,000 sanctions, we have more than 3,000 sanctions. They are hostile to us and you, we do not consider these sanctions legitimate. For the two nations of Iran and Russia, we do not deserve to be boycotted. But as you were able to handle yourself well, we managed ourselves well. Those who boycotted you were thinking, your economy MayDumpBut your economic growth is greater than most of the couries that have boycotted you, and we have made progress. Anyway We believed That we need to work more and remove the barriers faster. Trade of the two couries can be upgraded.

-With these conversations we eered iernational issues, eering the topics Iernational To. Iran has had threats from the United States in rece years, and I realize that Iran is ready to deal with any threat, what do you think Iran’s response to these threats will be?

-When you speak of the threat, I was the first year of the guidance when the Islamic Revolution of Iran won, that is, five years ago. Now I’m 5 years old. For the past five years of my life there is a regular threat, boycott and military attack and everything on the table, I heard these, but our coury we on. Because the Iranian nation cannot be threatened. Because we are rooted nation. Our edited date is more than three thousand years. So we are not a nation that freshly Existence Let’s come. During this date, we encouered a lot of ridicule. Our history can be studied. By the way, we are a cultural nation, sometimes they invaded us and even dominated us, but Iranian culture digested them, and even Iranian culture built other forces, so they speak threats, sanctions, the Russian nation can better understand us today. Sanctions are hard, we don’t say it is not hard, but it builds a nation next to it, you are a nation under the boycott, but you are both scieific and natural resources and natural resources. Goddess You have a lot, you are a vast coury and a nation, people who live in the cold above 2 degrees in some areas. These people are not ordinary people, they did not grow up in the blessings, created their lives hard, built their civilization in the hardships, you are a nation that has a thousand years of history. There are problems with Iran as well.

-In the face of American threats, we realized that it was like this for five years. But now your leader has decided to get the armed forces ready. That means Iran looks very seriously on these threats, what do you think the consequences will be?

-What is ahead, the first is the threat and the second is the path of negotiation; If you look at the 5 -year -old revolution, we were always in the negotiations, we neither escaped from the negotiating table nor did we act against our commitmes. Because in addition to the human duty to fulfill our obligations, our religion has also obliged us to fulfill us in the Qur’an.َOfovaBallaqud“, That is, be loyal to your covena. So we did not leave the path of negotiations, and today the indirect talks are due to take place on Saturday between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States. Of course, we said that the negotiations are indirect and indirectly. The second part is the threat, we are ready to deal with the threat, if we were to surrender to the threat, for what years we stood, we became accustomed to these threats and lived with these threats. It depends on which path to coinue. From the path of negotiation provided that Iran’s dignity is preserved and our red line is observed, Keeping We don’t have. Our Honorable Foreign Minister, Dr. Arakchi, has repeatedly stated that we are not the beginning of any war and to Whatever Where we are not attacking, but if it is to be attacked, we will definitely deal with all the strengths. But we do not welcome war and we don’t talk to war literature; We definitely prefer the conversation. We must think we are human and we can solve the issues through the conversation; But we have a bitter experience, and that we have been discussing the subject of peaceful nuclear programs for a few years, it was always our oppone who emptied the scene or did not fulfill or overdo it. The new route begins on Saturday and we have to see how it will go.

-Why Iran says it doesn’t directly? Don’t you think the direct negotiation will make the result faster?

-We Keeping We have no conversation; But our leader said something that is very wise, they said why don’t we negotiate? Then they said the reason? Then they said the reason for the experience. We have differe experiences, such as in the same negotiations that led to the Brajam; We talked straight together, spe several time to reach the brigade; Remember how many conversations were there? There was a direct relationship, our then Secretary of State was regularly e -mailing with the US Secretary of State, had a telephone conversation, they were in cyberspace, one had to ask what happened later. The results of the negotiations were violated at once. Our leader poied out the exact poi, He said they were This experience is in fro of our eyes. We are currely making indirect negotiations to Let’s see There is a horizoal. Really if there is a horizon for understanding and Iran’s dignity is preserved, Iran from direct negotiations Keeping And we have to go.

-Nown the structure of Saturday negotiations on the boycott It’sEither nuclear or agenda is the same time?

-I am not in the details, but what guessing May My wife is that Saturday’s meeting will be the first meeting, where both the future of the negotiations and the goals we have are, if the other party is honest and what the Americans have said several times. The boss The US Republic recely said that we do not wa Iran to have a nuclear weapon, if so, the problem is resolved. Because Iran is not looking for nuclear weapons. We have all the agency inspections I accept. Our leader again has a clear stateme, saying, “If we waed nuclear weapons, we would have achieved, we didn’t wa to have a nuclear weapon, and now it is. So the issue is solved. ” What is our demand? Our demand is also lifting sanctions and bottlenecks. If we go the same path, we can succeed, but if you are over again. Relaced matters eer, write the outcome of the negotiations in advance, and say let’s sign, naturally Iran does not consider such negotiations, negotiations means dialogue; That is, to sit down enough to solve our problems. So this result depends on the honesty of our oppone. If they come honestly and with the change of past methods, one can hope for the outcome of the negotiations.

-In your parliame, there was a stateme that Iran had to move towards the construction of nuclear weapons, is there an option that if the negotiations fail Iran to …

-There is no stateme or decree in the Iranian parliame, one of the esteemed MPs commeed on the podium, which was a represeative. I was in parliame for 5 years. The boss Parliame is obliged to open the tribunal of parliame and they can comme; It is differe from the represeatives, the comme of a represeative is not a criterion, what matters to us is our system’s decision. The decision of our system in the words of our leader, the words The boss Our Republic, our Foreign Minister, is crystallized in governme spokesperson and in our Foreign Ministry spokesman. This is the custom all over the world. But I said I was in parliame myself, usually members of parliame coming their views. Their views are just an idea uil it is approved by parliame. No, we are still in our minds and are not looking for nuclear weapons.

-So your colleague’s comme was a personal comme on Iran?

-Yes, it was their personal opinion. All the House of Represeatives commes, and these are their personal opinions, if one day becomes a stateme or law and law, then the coury’s opinion.

-How do our technical and military cooperation develop in these conditions today?

-We have technical and military cooperation with each other, and we said from the beginning that these cooperation is not against any coury. Iran and Russia are two great couries, we have a historical background of cooperation, our relations like all neighboring couries have had many landing and landing. We are in the golden age of relations today, this golden age is not based on complimes, one is about neighborhood, and one part goes back to the common approach of the leaders of the two couries, and these commonalities in the organization. BrixShanghai, the Eurasian Union, has been crystallized, so our military relations are expanding without a threat to a coury, and the conversations are conducted, and we are doing our work based on the documes that exist.
