Baku. Shamil Alibeyli - APA. "The disruption of security in the region
can also harm Iran's security. The unresolved Nagorno Karabakh conflict
and its re-ignition pose threat to the region," ambassador of Iran
to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pak Ayeen told journalists, APA reports.
The ambassador said the fact that Iran borders the conflict zone
puts into question the security of the country: "The establishment
of peace will be useful not only for Azerbaijan and Armenia, but
also for the entire region, including Iran. Therefore, the conflict
should be resolved through peace as soon as possible. You know that
Iran is currently chairing the Non-Aligned Movement, has influence
in the region and is an active member of the Organization of Islamic
Cooperation. If the parties want, Iran can help to solve the conflict."
Asked by APA how Iran's developing cooperation with Armenia can
contribute to the settlement of the conflict, the diplomat said
the cooperation with both countries will produce positive results:
"If any country is closely cooperating with only Azerbaijan or only
Armenia, that country can not contribute to the resolution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. But Iran's good relations with Azerbaijan
and Armenia allow it assisting in the settlement of the conflict."
