/PanARMENIAN.Net/ IRNA news agency quoted Iran’s presidential hopeful,
former commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Mohsen Rezaie on Monday
as saying that "if Iran had been more active, Nagorno Karabakh would
not have been occupied."

Judging by Rezaie’s political views, IRNA’s report can be eyed
skeptically, as it was used by pan-Turkic and pro-Azeri forces,
according to Aliq Tehran-based newspaper.

The newspaper said that Rezaie’s sister also insists that such
statements do not reflect his opinion on the issue. Rezaie’s foreign
policy approaches have always been concordant with Tehran’s official
position, it said.
