Presenter] Official Tehran is preparing for Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev's visit [to Iran]. Saying that they are currently
finalizing the documents to be signed during the official visit, the
Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Afshar Soleymani, has again
expressed the Tehran government's position on the Nagornyy Karabakh
conflict.
[Correspondent over video of Iranian envoy in his office] Iran
recognizes Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and supports its fair
position on a settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, the
Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Afshar Soleymani, has said in an
interview with ATV. The diplomat added that his country supported the
Baku government's initiative to discuss the Karabakh problem at the UN
General Assembly.
[Soleymani in his office, captioned, speaking in Azeri] Iran has
supported Azerbaijan's proposal made at the UN General Assembly and
will always support Azerbaijan in international bodies. This has been
the case many times before. Iran has always supported Azerbaijan in
the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
[Correspondent over video] However, Mr Soleymani said that the fact
that Iran is not directly involved in the peace process prevents
Tehran from conducting a more effective policy on the issue.
[Soleymani] The Minsk Group has been instructed to tackle the
issue. The Minsk Group is expected to resolve the issue. In any case,
the two sides [Armenia and Azerbaijan] agreed that the Minsk Group
should tackle the problem. But Iran has not been invited to closely
participate in this process. [Sentence indistinct]
