Iran for stability in Caucasus
Sat, 20 Feb 2010 15:58:19 GMT

Iran’s Parliament speaker said Saturday Tehran would do its utmost to
resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, a territory internationally
recognized as part of Azerbaijan which is being claimed by Armenia.

Ali Larijani said establishing peace and security in the region is
Iran’s strategic policy and the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute can be
resolved through more cooperation between regional countries.

Larijani made the comments during a meeting with his Azeri
counterpart, Ogtay Asadov, in Tehran.

Asadov later met with the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security
Council, Saeed Jalili, who called for more cooperation between
regional countries and accused the West of fomenting discord in the
region.
