Tehran, Yerevan Discuss Ways to Promote Bilateral Ties
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and his Armenian
counterpart Edward Nalbandian in a meeting here in Tehran conferred on
ways to further improve bilateral relations and mutual cooperation
between the two countries.
During the talks on Wednesday, the two sides also discussed bilateral
and international issues, as well as the latest development in
Karabakh.
"During the meeting, the Iranian foreign minister was informed of the
latest developments regarding the Karabakh issue and Iran was praised
for its role [in solving the dispute] since it has always taken a
balanced stance," Nalbandian said at a joint press conference with
Mottaki.
Iran has already voiced its readiness to help resolve the territorial
dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh
region.
Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohammad Baqer Bahrami announced in
March this year that Azerbaijan and Armenia have both asked Iran to
mediate in the dispute.
"The two sides have accepted that Iran (should) utilize all the
potential which exists in the region to help resolve the crisis in
this region," the envoy said at the time.
In addition to the Karabakh dispute, the Iranian and Armenian
officials also discussed the implementation of agreements previously
signed in various sectors including energy, electricity, trade,
transportation and the oil industry.
