    IRAN READY TO HELP RESOLVE NAGORNO-KARABAKH ISSUE DIPLOMATICALLY

    Mehr News Agency (MNA), Iran
    March 12, 2013 Tuesday

    TEHRAN, March 12 (MNA) â- The Iranian ambassador to Armenia has
    reiterated that the Islamic Republic is ready to help resolve the
    Nagorno-Karabakh issue, which has dragged on since ethnic Armenian
    forces took control of the region during a war in the early 1990s,
    through diplomatic channels.

    "If the countries involved in the dispute make a request, the Islamic
    Republic of Iran is ready to help resolve it peacefully," Ambassador
    Mohammad Raeesi told the Persian service of the Mehr News Agency in
    an interview published on Monday.

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

    Iran had earlier extended an offer to mediate between Armenia and
    Azerbaijan in the dispute.

    In April 2010, Manouchehr Mottaki, who was Iran's foreign minister
    at the time, presented a proposal for a trilateral meeting with
    his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts to attempt to resolve
    the dispute.
