    Iran can influence fair settlement to Karabakh conflict - Azeri official


    Baku, 25 February: Iran has borders both with Azerbaijan and Armenia
    and is interested in the settlement of Nagornyy Karabakh conflict,
    press secretary of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elxan Poluxov told
    Turan news agency in a comment on a statement by Iranian ambassador to
    Azerbaijan Mohammad Baqer Bahrami, who said the Azerbaijani
    authorities approved Tehran's involvement in the settlement process.

    Part of Azerbaijani territories bordering Iran are under Armenian
    occupation and from this point of view Iran shows interest in the
    settlement [of the conflict]. Considering Iran's close economic ties
    with Armenia, Tehran has mechanisms to influence on the fair
    settlement of the conflict, Poluxov said.

    It should be noted that Bahrami also dismissed the statement by the
    Iranian ambassador in Yerevan who, according to Armenian media, said
    that Iran bordered Nagornyy Karabakh.

    Iran's attempts to mediate the settlement to the Nagornyy Karabakh
    conflict failed in 1992 and had negative consequences for Azerbaijan.

    On the next day after signing of the cease-fire agreement between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia in Tehran, Armenian forces occupied a strategic
    point in Nagornyy Karabakh - the town of Susa.
