IRAN NOT INTERESTED IN POSSIBLE NATO PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITY IN THE REGION
November 28, 2013 | 18:19
Iran's role in the Karabakh conflict is seen as a role of a country not
interested in any military escalation on its borders, says editorial
posted on Iran.ru website.
The authors emphasize that Iran is not interested in a possible NATO
peacekeeping activity in the region.
"It's hard to imagine that countries like the U.S., France and
others would agree to a peacekeeping operation exclusively by the
CSTO countries or Russia alone. But the presence of NATO forces in
the conflict area, even if it is authorized by the OSCE mandate or
the UN, can not but act as an irritant to Iran," the authors claim.
The authors remind that Iran's doubt related to the possible presence
of NATO troops near its northern borders are objective and can not
be ignored.
"Iran's position on the Karabakh settlement basically comes down to
two points. Firstly, it is the necessity of a peaceful solution and
no alternative to negotiations," the article says.
And secondly, Iran considers that exclusively regional states'
involvement in the peace process as a mediating party is the most
appropriate option, and this should lead to the ousting of the external
actors from mediation in the Karabakh settlement.
