    Iran speaker calls for rapid settlement of Karabakh crisis


    Tehran, 20 Feb, IRNA: Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said here on
    Saturday [20 Feb] that rapid settlement of Karabakh crisis is in the
    interest of the regional countries.

    In a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Oqtay Asadov, who is in
    Tehran at the head of a high-ranking parliamentary delegation,
    Larijani added that regional countries can take a crucial step in
    solving the crisis.

    Describing numerous cultural, historical, civilizational and religious
    commonalities between the two nations as a valuable asset for
    promotion of bilateral ties, he noted that the two nations' will for
    forging brotherly relations is rooted in the history of bilateral
    ties.

    "Iran's strategy is based on developing economic ties with its
    neighbouring countries," he said, noting that given the vast
    capabilities of the two countries in the fields of energy, industry
    and economy, the level of commercial exchanges can experience a sharp
    rise in line with mutual interests.

    Larijani also said that promoting peace in the region is one of the
    strategic policies of Iran and it will do its best to solve Karabakh
    crisis.

    Asadov, for his part, said that his country also favours development
    of friendly and brotherly ties with Iran.

    Characterizing Iran as a country with a long history and rich culture,
    he noted that big powers are the main cause of Karabakh crisis.
