Baku. Elnur Mammadli – APA. Azerbaijan Democratic Party (ADP) demands
explanation from Iran. ADP board of chairmen discussed the press
statement by Iranian ambassador to Armenia in its meeting on Monday,
ADP press service told APA. The party considered the ambassador’s
statement about Iran’s resistance in the case of deployment of
international peacekeeping forces in Nagorno Karabakh, which is
neighboring with Iran, as a statement against territorial integrity
and sovereignty of Azerbaijan. ADP considers that the statement is
contradictory to the historic and political ties between the two
countries and doesn’t conform to the recent statement by Iranian
president about Iran’s close support to Azerbaijan on Nagorno Karabakh
issue and called on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan to
demand Iran to explain its double-faced behavior.
Last socio-political processes in the country and world, as well as
organizing issues were also discussed at the meeting. Participants
of the meeting called the visit of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
to the region as the next step towards peace and security in the
region. But they strongly condemned the discussions held by the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office in Yerevan with participation of Nagorno Karabakh
separatist leader Bako Saakian and said this action was contradictory
to the OSCE’s mediating mission.
