Iran opposed to Karabakh peacekeepers
The IRIB has issued following news:
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.
Pak-Ayeen told IRNA on Wednesday `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.'
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.
However, the Iranian envoy said 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.
Both Azerbaijan and Armenia claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh,
which is largely populated by Armenians but located in Azerbaijan.
