Iran reportedly provided Azerbaijan with weaponry during the Karabakh
war, an Iranian Imam has said.
According to the Iranian news agency Arannews, Seid Ameli, said in a
statement that the Karabakh war created a dilemma for Iran: either to
interfere and protect Azerbaijan, which would mean a second front line
with Russia, or turn a "blind eye on the killings of brother Azeris".
"But Iran chose the third variant: not to take part in the war openly,
but at the same time not to be an observer either," Seid Ameli said in
the statement released on the occasion of the death of Alikram Aliyev,
the former leader of Islamic Party of Azerbaijan.
Ameli further said that though Iranian political figures have never
spoken about it, Iran sent weapons to Azerbaijani soldiers during
the battle in Shushi.
Ameli also said that Iran assisted Azerbaijan in bringing "thousands
of gunmen" to the front line from Afghanistan.
According to him, thousand of Azeris living in Azerbaijan today can
prove his words true.
