Iran’s official disposition over international policy can be only
stated by Iranian President, Foreign Ministry and Foreign Minister,
Ardeshir Javadi, the head of PR department of Iran’s Embassy to Armenia
told Panorama.am referring to Iranian Deputy Speaker Muhammad Reza
Bahonar’s statement.

Trend News reported earlier Iran’s Deputy Speaker saying "Iran backs
Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. In the international arena Iran has
always made efforts and will continue those to return Nagorno-Karabakh
to Azerbaijan."

"The statement of other officials are mere views and are considered
to be non-official statements," the Embassy official said.

He recalled Iran’s Ambassador’s statement saying Nagorno-Karabakh
borders Iran, hence, Iran accepts that the freed territories are part
of Nagorno-Karabakh.
