    AZERI DIPLOMAT SAYS BOTH IRANIAN AND ARMENIAN NUKE DEVELOPMENTS POSE THREAT

    Baku, 11 April: NATO has no plans to stage a military invasion of
    Iran, said NATO Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central
    Asia Robert Simmons.

    Speaking at a news briefing in Baku on Tuesday [11 April] following
    negotiations with the Azerbaijani leadership, Simmons said, however,
    that NATO is concerned about the situation in Iran and hopes that
    the negotiating process involving three of its members, Germany,
    the UK and France, will be completed successfully.

    Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said Baku is also concerned
    about how the Iran crisis will be resolved, due to the geographical
    proximity of the two states.

    Azerbaijan is following the negotiating process with Iran closely,
    he said.

    "The problem is currently being discussed at the UN Security Council,
    and we hope that it will be resolved at a political, diplomatic level,"
    Azimov said.

    Azimov also pointed out that, while the Iranian nuclear problem poses
    a strategic threat to Azerbaijan, the Metsamor nuclear power plant
    functioning in neighbouring Armenia is a real threat to Azerbaijan's
    and the entire region's security, which, he said, has been confirmed
    by international experts.
