Armenian News-NEWS.am, reflecting on Iran Parliament Speaker Ali
Larijani's recent statement that official Tehran is prepared to become
a mediator in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

stability of the region are important and, in my view, they deserve
encouragement," Voskanyan added.

such statements, and it stands ready to accept any mediation initiative
that will bring peace and stability to the region.
"And even though the Azerbaijani party, based on the rules of
