Iran is not in a position to influence the settlement of the Nagornyy
Karabakh conflict, a prominent Azerbaijani analyst has said in a
comment on Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani’s remarks that "the
country will spare no efforts to settle the Nagornyy Karabakh dispute".
"Iran is not in the position to influence the settlement of
Armenia-Azerbaijan-Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and its opinion in
the conflict is of minor significance," Zardust Alizada told day.az
website on 23 February.
Speaking about Iranian-Azerbaijani relations Alizada said: "Relations
between our countries are based on mutual benefit: Azerbaijan receives
its own dividends from promoting ties with Iran and Iran also benefits
from establishing ties."
Alizada also ruled out that Iran’s concern over Azerbaijani-Israeli
ties can negatively affect relations between the sides.
