IRANIAN ENVOY: OSCE MG UNINTERESTED IN KARABAKH CONFLICT RESOLUTION
July 12, 2013 - 14:05 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Regional security will be threatened unless
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is resolved, Iranian ambassador to
Azerbaijan said.
"Iran has a land border both with Azerbaijan and Armenia, and
instability would have a negative impact on the near-border provinces
anyway," ambassador Mohsen Pak Ayeen said, quoted by the Azerbaijan
Press Agency.
As to Iran's possible mediation in the conflict, Ayeen said that
Armenia and Azerbaijan should give consent in this regard. "With
agreement from both sides, Iran will start meetings, discussions with
relevant countries and put up its complex project for discussion as an
influential country of the region, country chairing the Non-Aligned
Movement and one of the most active members of the Organization of
Islamic Cooperation," he said.
Commenting on the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group, the Iranian
ambassador said that Minsk Group hasn't achieved any tangible result
so far. "What has Minsk Group done up to now? They have done nothing,
except several meetings with predictable results. We do not think that
the Minsk Group members that are beyond the region are interested in
the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. This problem should be
solved by the countries of the region," he said.
