    "Relations with Iran have special importance in developing
    international relations. It should be noted that so far such relations
    have encountered problems for different reasons. There are also
    preconditions for the development of economic relations between the two
    countries. As to the political aspect, Iran already has experience of
    a mediator," said the advisor to the NKR foreign minister A. Puluzyan.

    In answer to the question what possibilities of promoting relations
    with Iran there are, he said the best basis for the development of
    relations is the common border. The adviser to the minister says
    so far no realistic projects on the use of the border the length of
    which is 80 km have been offered.

    A. Puluzyan thinks there are considerable prospects for economic
    cooperation and investments. Among the factors the adviser noted the
    Armenian community in Iran which counts 150 thousand, and which has
    a considerable potential for investments.

    The adviser also underlined that the Iranian culture is present
    in Artsakh.

    Evidence to this is the Iranian monuments, mosques in Shushi, Aghdam
    and other cities of Artsakh which Azerbaijan ascribes to itself. "We
    focus on the preservation of the monuments of Iranian culture. We
    also know that the Armenian monuments in Iran are preserved by the
    government. It may be a good basis for friendly relations between
    the two countries. The NKR government has made efforts to preserve
    and restore the Iranian monuments.

    This fact should be viewed in the context of the efforts of Azerbaijan
    to present the Karabakh conflict to the Conference of Islamic Nations,
    for instance, as a religious conflict. However, we can prove that
    we have friendly relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran," said
    A. Puluzyan.
