    TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian diplomat voiced Tehran's readiness to
    help resolve the territorial dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

    "Iran has announced its readiness to help the crisis in this region,"
    the Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, Mohammad Baqer Bahrami, told
    MNA. The ambassador added that Azerbaijan and Armenia have asked
    Iran to mediate in the dispute. "The two sides have accepted that
    Iran (must) utilize all the potential which exists in the region to
    help resolve the crisis in this region," the envoy said. Commenting
    on plans to abolish visa requirements for the citizens of Iran and
    Azerbaijan, the ambassador pointed out that Azeri officials have
    announced that they are preparing the ground to eliminate visa
    requirement for Iranians. Earlier in February, Iranian Parliament
    Speaker Ali Larijani had said in a meeting with his Azeri counterpart
    Ogtay Asadov that Tehran would spare no efforts to help resolve the
    territorial dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Larijani suggested
    that regional countries could take a collective important step to
    help end the long-running dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia. The
    senior lawmaker added that Iran's strategic policy is to strengthen
    peace and security in the Caucasus region.
