The “Hayazn” political party today handed a letter to Iran’s Ambassador to Armenia Mohammad Reyisi raising its concerns regarding the proposed leasing of 50,000 hectares of pasture land to sheep herders in Iran’s Eastern Azerbaijan province.

The party argues that such a deal could damage friendly relations now shared by the two neighbouring nations.

The party says it will do all in its power to oppose the deal.

On February 14, the party will stage a demonstration outside the Government Building in Yerevan at 11am.
