    Iran opposed to Karabakh peacekeepers

    The IRIB has issued following news:


    Iran's Ambassador to Baku Mohsen Pak-Ayeen has warned against the
    possible deployment of peacekeeping forces to Karabakh, emphasizing
    that the move will cause new security problems in the region.

    Pak-Ayeen told IRNA on Wednesday `The deployment of peacekeeping
    forces to the Karabakh region is not only an ineffective measure to
    resolve the region's dispute, but will create new security problems in
    the region.'

    He said that regional countries can present logical resolutions to the
    conflict, adding states and organizations outside the region have no
    resolve to settle the Karabakh dispute.

    However, the Iranian envoy said that the presence of peacekeeping
    troops in Karabakh is unlikely at the current juncture, saying the
    move requires certain grounds which have not been prepared yet.

    Pak-Ayeen expressed Iran's readiness to help resolve the Karabakh
    dispute, saying we are willing to fulfill our duties to settle the
    problem if the grounds are prepared.

    He added that maintaining ties with the disputed sides would be an
    appropriate strategy for Iran, as the rotating president of the
    Non-Aligned Movement, to help strengthen peace and security in the
    region.

    Both Azerbaijan and Armenia claim the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh,
    which is largely populated by Armenians but located in Azerbaijan.
