Iranian ambassador: â€œThe country closely cooperating with only Azerbaijan or only Armenia can not contribute to the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflictâ€

The ambassador said the fact that Iran borders the conflict zone puts into question the security of the country: “The establishment of peace will be useful not only for Azerbaijan and Armenia, but also for the entire region, including Iran. Therefore, the conflict should be resolved through peace as soon as possible. You know that Iran is currently chairing the Non-Aligned Movement, has influence in the region and is an active member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. If the parties want, Iran can help to solve the conflict.”

Asked by APA how Iran’s developing cooperation with Armenia can contribute to the settlement of the conflict, the diplomat said the cooperation with both countries will produce positive results: “If any country is closely cooperating with only Azerbaijan or only Armenia, that country can not contribute to the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. But Iran’s good relations with Azerbaijan and Armenia allow it assisting in the settlement of the conflict.”
