TEHRAN - Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says if
Azerbaijan and Armenia want, Iran is ready to offer a solution to
the Karabakh dispute.
Mehmanparast made the remarks during a press conference which was
held in Kazan, the capital city of the Republic of Tatarstan, late
on Thursday.
He said, "Border disputes usually occur between neighboring countries."
However, he added, "Extra-regional countries seek to exploit disputes
in order to interfere in regional issues."
He went on to say that Iran supports the continuation of talks and
consultations on the issue and is ready to help resolve the territorial
dispute between Baku and Yerevan.
He also said Western countries are using media as a tool to distort
the truth about Muslim nations.
Iran, Russia can preserve balance of power in region
During a meeting with the chairman of the State Council of the Republic
of Tatarstan, Farid Mukhametshin, on Friday, Mehmanparast said Iran
and the Russian Federation can play a substantial role in preserving
the balance of power in the region.
At the current world situation, in which major developments are
occurring, close ties and cooperation between friendly countries is
very vital, he stated.
Iran and Tatarstan should utilize their great potential to promote
mutual cooperation, he said, adding media outlets should also help
the potential be recognized.
