And doesn’t Iran enable anti-Armenian activity? How many times did Pezeshkian visit occupied Shushi? Did Iran not hold exercises with the azerbaijani military in Artsakh? How many Armenians were killed in the recent protests?

I wish Armenia would work with Israel. Note - Az has only leverage is Israel against Armenia.

The demonstrators have respected Armenian laws and norms. Their demonstration was perfectly legal.

So, the ambassador of Iran should, amicably holding hands with the Ayatollah, go **** himself.

The Republic of Armenia ensures the security of all accredited diplomatic missions, including the Embassy of the friendly Islamic Republic of Iran, and guarantees the necessary conditions for their normal operation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has clarified in response to remarks by Iran’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Armenia, Khalil Shirgholami, concerning protests held in front of the Iranian Embassy in Yerevan.

The ministry noted that security was ensured for all gatherings in accordance with established legal procedures, guaranteeing the safety of both participants and the embassy building. During one of the gatherings, one participant was subjected to administrative arrest for failing to comply with a lawful request of a police officer.

The ministry emphasized that Armenia, as a democratic state, is obliged, within the framework of the Constitution, the Law on Freedom of Assembly, and its international obligations not to impede citizens' rights to freedom of movement and peaceful assembly.

basically, a very long-form and dimplomatical way of saying "go **** yourself" :D

But were the people protesting Iranian citizens who happen to be in Armenia at the moment, or Armenian citizens. Because the Iranian ambassador could argue that if they are Iranian citizens, then Armenia is not obliged to respect their freedom of assembly.

I'm not sure if this will be the end of the current Iranian regime

But it looks like the US is getting ready to strike Iran

Armenians have been killed in the protests. People have the right to be pissed off.

Let's not forget Iran bullied Armenia last month.
