    Iran Blasts US for Sparking Extremism in Region

    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the
    emergence of extremism is the brainchild of the US policies in the
    Middle East.

    "Today, extremism in Afghanistan and Pakistan has turned into an
    irresolvable dilemma even for those who helped develop the ideology,"
    Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted by press tv as saying in a meeting
    with Hedayat Oroujev, the Chairman of the State Religious Affairs
    of Azerbaijan.

    Mottaki expressed Tehran's readiness to help settle Baku-Yerevan
    differences.

    "Iran's foreign policy is based on peaceful coexistence and Tehran is
    prepared to act as a mediator to resolve disputes between Azerbaijan
    and Armenia," said Mottaki.

    Oroujev, for his part, said the activities of hardliners incur
    damages to Islam adding that the aliens fan extremism both openly
    and in covert operations.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia went at loggerheads over the strategic
    Nagorno-Karabakh region. The disputes between the two states broke
    out in 1988, when the Armenian majority in Nagorno-Karabakh appealed
    to Moscow to help them join Armenia, but in 1991 rejected unification
    with Armenia and proclaimed total independence in 1992.
