    'Regional states need no outside help'
    Fri Jul 1, 2011 3:29PM


    Iran's Majlis (Parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani says regional
    countries must resolve their problems without seeking outside help, as
    foreign intervention worsens the situation.


    In a meeting with his Azeri counterpart Oktay Asadovin Baku on Friday,
    Larijani pointed to the decade-long invasion of Afghanistan, saying
    the US and its allies claimed to come to the region to fight terrorism
    and drugs but the region is still struggling with both these problems.

    Referring to the failure of Minsk Group in resolving the
    Nagorno-Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Iran's Majlis
    speaker noted that the mediation of foreigners in the Nagorno-Karabakh
    dispute did not bear fruit as the foreign mediators were pursuing
    their own interests, a Press TV correspondent reported.

    Larijani added that resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute also needs
    a regional model and emphasized Iran's support for Azerbaijan's
    territorial integrity.

    The Azeri Parliament Speaker for his part expressed gratitude for
    Iran's support for Azerbaijan in international venues.

    Larijani, who heads a parliamentary delegation, is scheduled to hold
    meetings with top Azeri officials including President Ilham Aliyev
    during his visit to Baku.

    The Minsk Group spearheads the OSCE's efforts to find a political
    solution to the conflict in and around Nagorno-Karabakh involving
    Armenia and Azerbaijan.
