The Iranian Foreign Ministry investigates the reasons of its embassy's
statement in Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Foreign
Ministry official representative Ramin Mehmanperest told Trend.
Today, the Iranian embassy in Armenia has made a statement saying that
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be resolved on the basis of a
dialogue, non-use of force and respect for the right to
self-determination. According to the Armenian media, the embassy has
not mentioned the principle of respecting sovereignty and territorial
integrity.
The Azerbaijani embassy in Iran also investigates the reasons of the
Iranian embassy's statement in Armenia, the diplomatic mission told
Trend.
"Iran always recognized the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan at the
official level," the embassy said.
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 seven 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.
