Iran's offer to broker the Karabakh settlement remains in force, said
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."Iran stands ready to help settle
this conflict. Our proposal always remains in force," Ahmadinejad said
after talks with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Wednesday.
"Iran's desire and position is that the Karabakh conflict be settled
on the basis of justice and within Azerbaijan's territorial integrity,"
he said.
Ties between Baku and Tehran are at a very high level, he said,
adding that there are no deep disagreements between the two countries.
Aliyev in turn said that he had briefed his Iranian counterpart
on the current stage in the settlement. "Azerbaijan will restore
its territorial integrity. To attain this goal we must become even
stronger, of course," he said.
Aliyev said trade between Azerbaijan and Iran will increase
significantly after the signing on Wednesday of a memorandum of
understanding in energy and transport.
The memorandum encompasses important joint transport projects, the
construction of a North-South corridor, he said. In this connection,
additional measures have been planned to build joint electricity
capacities, to link up electric power lines, to cooperate in the gas
sector and to implement other transport and energy projects.
Aliyev said cooperation in the gas sector must be broadened, noting
that the two countries are in talks on new projects.
