IRAN IS LOYAL TO KARABAKH

The Armenian minister of Defense Seyran Ohanyan met with the Iranian
ambassador to Armenia who invited the Armenian minister to Iran.
This information would not attract attention several months ago but now
after Kocharyan's visit to Iran and the visit of the Iranian foreign
minister Mottaki to Armenia, the insistent proposals of Tehran to be
a mediator in the Karabakh issue, the meeting of the Armenian minister
seems symptomatic.
Recall that just recently the U.S. began to deploy anti-aircraft
missile complexes "Patriot" in the countries of the Persian Gulf.
Earlier, the U.S. tightened economic sanctions against Iran.
It is noteworthy that all these events are happening in the "two-week
term" given to Armenia and Azerbaijan for their opinions on the
Karabakh issue. Determination of cut-off date means that, despite
the absence of objective prerequisites for resolving the conflict,
in the construction of the current status quo some adjustments may be
implemented. And now, each side tries to safeguard against possible
threats including Iran.
Armenia and Karabakh are those countries bordering with Iran where the
NATO troops are present. In this connection, Iran decided to activate
its relations with Armenia to the extent that it fortifies economic
projects. If it seems little to Armenia, Iran is possible to resort to
more active political means-to open its border with Karabakh in secret.
In any case, the fact that Iran prefers communicating with Karabakh
officials like Kocharyan, Ohanyan stands for the "loyalty" of Tehran
to the break of the "territorial integrity of Azerbaijan".
