    Baku torpedoing Kazan meeting tries to enlist Iran's support in
    Karabakh process

    July 1, 2011 - 20:18 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - OSCE Minsk Group efforts did not result in Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement, therefore the region countries,
    particularly Iran, should get involved into the process, according to
    Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

    `Karabakh conflict should be resolved within regional formula,' said
    Larijani during his July 1 meeting with Azerbaijani Parliament Speaker
    Oqtay Asadov in Baku.

    According to the Iranian Speaker, great states do not assist in
    conflicts settlement.

    `OSCE MG has been engaged in Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement for
    many years, however it did not bring to any results so far,' he said.

    In his turn, Asadov expressed confidence that Iran `will support
    Azerbaijan in the conflict resolution and will back up official Baku's
    stand in this issue within the framework of international
    organizations.'

    He stressed that neighboring countries should solve the regional
    problems jointly, according to Interfax. Baku torpedoed the summit
    between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June 24 which
    completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict settlement. `The countries' leaders registered mutual
    understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts
    creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting
    participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim
    of coordination of the project with basic principles,' according to
    the statement. The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed
    gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk
    group co-chairs, for `their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem' and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President
    in support of agreements.

    Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbanian noted that the
    June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready
    to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the
    OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted
    to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any
    agreement on the issue,' he added.
