Iran's mediation in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement is not beneficial
for Armenia, Iranologist and Deputy Director of Noravanq Foundation,
Sevak Sarukhanyan, said at a press conference today.
"We would not like to withdraw from the Minsk Group. That change
is beneficial for Azerbaijan which wants to see the process fail,"
said the expert, adding that if Armenia agrees to Iran's mediation in
the framework of the Minsk Group that will be a precedent for others'
inclusion, and that Turkey might take advantage of the situation.
Sarukhanyan is not positive about Tehran's proposal to organize a
tripartite meeting between the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Iranian
foreign ministers either, as it would not be an optimal solution to
agree to Iran's proposal by respecting its regional role.
"Essentially Armenia does not need a new mediator," concluded
Sarukhanyan.
