In the northern city Ardebil of Iran, during Friday praying, the
representative of the Iranian religious council Seid Hasan Ameli made
an appeal to believers. He said that the Western policy of the last
20 years did not bring peace to the region but only made the existing
problems deeper. He mentioned that Iran is ready to mediate between
Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Azeris accepted but the Armenian refused
Iran’s help.
Ameli said Armenians rely on the Americans and Europeans which is a
wrong path. The experience of Turkey and Azerbaijan is to be a lesson
that Western countries, in particular Israel, have always hit the
Muslims of the region from back.
He extended hope that the neighbors of Iran will refuse the patronage
of the U.S. and Israel and will go towards peace and friendship as well
as that Karabakh will be returned to Azerbaijan and will be cleaned of
"dirty Armenians".
The Azerbaijani ambassador to Iran and a religious leader of Azerbaijan
Hajali Ekramov also participated in Friday praying. Fars news agency
reports.
Note Adebil region is populated mainly by Azeris.
