    A scientific conference dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the `Iran
    and the Caucasus' periodical was held in Yerevan today. The event
    brought together scholars and researchers from different countries of
    the world. The periodical is issued twice a year.

    According to Professor James Russell, head of the Armenian Studies
    Chair at the Harvard University, the periodical provides an
    opportunity to scholars to present new approaches.

    `The periodical presents Armenia's achievements. It was first issued,
    when Armenia was in a hard transit period. I think the scientific
    works it presents will contribute to the disclosure of Azerbaijani
    lies and present the truth,'

    `Iran neighbors Armenia and Azerbaijan, and has always been trying to
    act as a mediator in the Karabakh settlement process, but all efforts
    have failed,' Professor of Political Science at the London University,
    Iranian diplomat Ali Granmaieh said in an interview with Radiolur. He
    has arrived in Armenia to participate in the conference.

    Azerbaijan does not agree to Iran's mediating efforts, since it
    considers that Karabakh is one of the provinces of Azerbaijan without
    taking into consideration the opinion of the people living there, he
    said.

    The Iranian Embassy issued a statement recently, where it declared the
    unacceptability of the possible deployment of NATO forces in the
    liberated territories. Can Iran play any role in the settlement of the
    Karabakh issue? Ali Granmaieh said `Iran has good relations with
    Russia and the position of official Tehran does not differ from that
    of Moscow. However, the same cannot be said about Iran-Turkey
    relations.'

    Head of the Iranian Studies Chair at the Yerevan State University
    Garnik Asatryan also attached importance to the role of Iran in the
    Karabakh settlement process. `It's only important for the interests to
    overlap,' he said.
