Baku. Elnur Mammadli â€“ APA. Azerbaijan Democratic Party (ADP) demands explanation from Iran. ADP board of chairmen discussed the press statement by Iranian ambassador to Armenia in its meeting on Monday, ADP press service told APA. The party considered the ambassadorâ€™s statement about Iranâ€™s resistance in the case of deployment of international peacekeeping forces in Nagorno Karabakh, which is neighboring with Iran, as a statement against territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. ADP considers that the statement is contradictory to the historic and political ties between the two countries and doesnâ€™t conform to the recent statement by Iranian president about Iranâ€™s close support to Azerbaijan on Nagorno Karabakh issue and called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan to demand Iran to explain its double-faced behavior.

Last socio-political processes in the country and world, as well as organizing issues were also discussed at the meeting. Participants of the meeting called the visit of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office to the region as the next step towards peace and security in the region. But they strongly condemned the discussions held by the OSCE Chairman-in-Office in Yerevan with participation of Nagorno Karabakh separatist leader Bako Saakian and said this action was contradictory to the OSCEâ€™s mediating mission.
