    IRAN REITERATES READINESS TO MEDIATE IN RESOLVING ARMENIAN-AZERBAIJANI NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    During a meeting with Armenian prime minister, the Iranian
    officials reiterated Iran's readiness to mediate in resolving the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, foreign minister
    of Iran Manouchehr Mottaki said during a press conference in Tehran
    on Tuesday.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
    are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.

    According to Mottaki, Iran and Armenia have signed a cooperation
    document during prime minister Tigran Sarkisian's visit to Tehran.
