live in these crisis years’

Baku. Lachin sultanova – APA. `It’s impossible for Iran to assist the
solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the framework of OSCE
Minsk Group. It has no legal basis’, Chief of the International
Relations Department of the Presidential Administration Novruz
Mammadov told APA.

`Islamic Republic of Iran is one of the countries assisting Armenia to
live in these crisis years. Armenia receives main resources from Iran.
Iran has a lot of means and it can help the solution to the conflict
whenever it wants. Iran recognizes the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan. If Iran changes attitude towards Armenia, then it may help
us. But I don’t see such a thing now’, he said.

`It is interesting that after the frame agreement offered in Madrid,
Azerbaijani side hasn’t accepted it during half year. But then
Azerbaijan agreed with the proposals demonstrating its
constructiveness in the solution to the conflict. After all these,
Armenia changed its positions during Sochi meeting. Unfortunately,
some circles support Armenia and try for the welfare of Armenia’

Mammadov touched upon the meeting between Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyarov and Co-chairs in Paris: `If there is a new idea,
opinion after this meeting, we will be informed’
