/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The United States and Iran are to hold
ambassador-level talks in Baghdad on the deteriorating security
situation in Iraq July 24.

The two sides will sit down together tomorrow, according to Iraqi
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari and U.S. Embassy spokesman Philip
Reeker, amid U.S. allegations that Tehran is supporting violent Shiite
militias in the country.

Zebari said the discussions would be at ambassador level and would
focus on the situation in Iraq, not U.S.-Iran tensions.

Iraq stands for holding the second round of talks and hopes the
meeting will produce effect.

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and Iran’s Hassan Kazimi Qomi
will hold tete-a-tete talks, Iran.ru reports.

Little progress emerged from the first round of talks in May between
the ambassadors on May 28, 2007.

The U.S. broke off relations with Iran in 1980 when Islamic
revolutionaries seized the US embassy in Tehran and held diplomats
hostage.

Tuesday’s meeting will be hosted by the Iraqi government, whose Shia
Muslim leaders have close links with Iran.

The U.S. urges Iran to stop interfering in Iraq’s domestic affairs
while Tehran demands stepwise withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
