During a meeting with Yerevan State University students, Iran's ambassador to Armenia Seyed Ali Sagayan said that no country can keep silence on its tragic past.

“It’s inadmissible to impose religious nature on developments and conflicts. Iran holds a clear stance on the issue. As an ambassador, every April 24 I participate in events honoring the memory of the victims,” the Iranian envoy said dwelling on Iranian position on the Armenian Genocide, adding that reoccurrence of such dark pages must be avoided.
