Iran's Ambassador to Baku Mohsen Pak-Ayeen has warned against the
possible deployment of peacekeeping forces to Karabakh, emphasizing
that the move will cause new security problems in the region.
"The deployment of peacekeeping forces to the Karabakh region is
not only an ineffective measure to resolve the region's dispute,
but will create new security problems in the region," Pak-Ayeen told
IRNA on Wednesday.
He said that regional countries can present logical resolutions to
the conflict, adding states and organizations outside the region have
no resolve to settle the Karabakh dispute.
The Iranian envoy said, however, that the presence of peacekeeping
troops in Karabakh is unlikely at the current juncture, saying the
move requires certain grounds, which have not been prepared yet.
Pak-Ayeen expressed Iran's readiness to help resolve the Karabakh
dispute, saying we are willing to fulfill our duties to settle the
problem if the grounds are prepared.
He added that maintaining ties with the disputed sides would be an
appropriate strategy for Iran, as the rotating president of the
Non-Aligned Movement, to help strengthen peace and security in
the region.
However, according to the Foreign Ministry of Armenia, the issue of
deploying international peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh is not on
agenda at present.
