Following the Iranian Ayatollah's statement suggesting his country
helped Azerbaijan in Karabakh war years, Iran attempted to cajole
both Armenia and Azerbaijan, while counteracting Turkey, according to
director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies
(ACNIS).
As Manvel Sargsyan stated at a discussion titled "Karabakh Issue in
Armenia and International Scene: New Situation, Old Approaches",
the statement by the Iranian Embassy in Armenia, which stressed
Tehran's respect for the nations' right for self-determination and
Iran's protesting the stationing of foreign troops in the region,
proves the above-mentioned fact.
As the expert noted, the statement of Ayatollah was a was a
well-thought move, as a spiritual leader couldn't have been informed
of military sector-related details. "It's a political step. Iran
is attempting to hold control of both Armenia and Azerbaijan,"
Sargsyan said.
