/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran can’t be a mediator in the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process, Director
of the Caucasus Institute, political scientist
Alexander Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter
during a news conference in Yerevan.

-It’s quite impossible. Iran doesn’t serve on the OSCE
MG. Moreover, it experiences problems with the U.S., a
co-chair state. We should forget that Ali Reza Sheikh
Attar made this statement in a certain country with a
certain purpose,- he said.

Iran used to be a mediator in the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement but then our country was removed
from the process, the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister
said earlier in Baku.

-If both sides make a proposal, my country is ready to
undertake an intermediary mission again,- Ali Reza
Sheikh Attar said. -Although I do not rate the OSCE
Minsk Group activity as satisfactory, Iran supports
the talks in its framework.-
