Azerbaijan agreed with Iran's mediation in Karabakh peace process,
Iranian FM Manouchehr Mottaki told journalists in Tehran, 1news.az
reports. "War between Armenia and Azerbaijan has not ended yet and
there are certain issues holding up conflict settlement and shadowing
peace process," Mottaki noted.
Tehran wishes its neighbors live in peace, FM emphasized. "We will do
our utmost to assist the fair solution to the conflict. We have handed
our proposals to Armenian and Azerbaijani sides. Baku accepted them,
whereas Yerevan is yet silent," Iranian FM stated. According to him,
Iran is highly concerned over the sustained conflict. "These issues
are a burden for the Caucasus. Similar conflicts negatively affect
regional projects, as well as political and economic relations between
the states," Mottaki emphasized.
At that, Yerevan has repeatedly recalled Tehran that "talks on
Karabakh peace process are held within OSCE Minsk Group." "Armenia
highly assesses Iran's efforts, but recalls that talks on Karabakh
conflict settlement are held in the frames of OSCE Minsk Group,"
a diplomatic source who did not want to be identified told NEWS.am.
