Larijani added that in dealing with conflict, Iran supported the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan: â€œUnder the terms of the region, we proposed that the conflict was resolved peacefully and through negotiations. The Great Powers only think about their interests, and instead of solving the problems they are playing for their interests. Despite the activities of the Minsk Group, which continues for many years, it has not done anything. In addressing this issue, we prefer to regional effortsâ€.

Chairman of the Iranian Parliament said that in the first place it is important to find a format of solution to the problem: â€œAzerbaijan has chosen the format of the Minsk Group. We are not a member of the Minsk Group. However, remaining true to Islamic position, we support the territorial integrity of Azerbaijanâ€.

As an example, Larijani led occupation of the U.S. in the regional issues, â€œEntrance of the United States in the region not only solve the problem, but rather creates new the ones. After entrance into Iraq and Afghanistan, the number of smuggling and terror increased there. In the Palestinian problem, they are constantly finding new solutions and tighten it. Recently, Obama speaks with ridiculous offers. We always offer a way of regional solutions. Because, the states in the region are familiar with such problems more. If Azerbaijan wants to, Iran is ready to lend their supportâ€.

Referring to the reaction of the Iranian Parliament to destruction of Islamic monuments in Karabakh by the Armenian side, Larijani said that the sides must find a solution format.

Larijani also clarified the failed visit of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Armenia. He noted that this associated with a number of technical questions: â€œDo not look for any negative points hereâ€
