Armenian PM Pashinyan Attends Funeral of Iranian Supreme Leader

Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan traveled to Iran to attend the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Pashinyan was received by Iranian Vice President Seyyed Hamid Pourmohammadi upon arrival at Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport.

The visit reflects Armenia's diplomatic ties with Iran, a neighboring country that shares a border with Armenia and plays a significant role in regional affairs. High-level attendance at state funerals typically represents official respect and maintains bilateral relations. The funeral of Iran's supreme leader draws international delegations and is considered a major diplomatic event in the Middle East.
