Iran, Armenia Confer on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
 
 
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in a Saturday meeting with his Armenian counterpart Zohrab Mnatsakanyan, discussed the latest developments in the Caucasus, particularly the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
 
During the today meeting between Zarif and Mnatsakanyan, the two top diplomats talked about the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
 
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 55th Munich Security Conference.
 
The two sides also discussed ways of expanding mutual ties in different fields, especially in the banking, energy, transportation, and business sectors.
 
Also in Munich, before meeting with Armenian diplomatic chief, Zarif met with EU Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini, The Elders, Australian Security Intelligence Organization chief Duncan Lewis, South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha and Lebanese Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab.
 
Iran has always practiced a non-partial approach to the conflicts in the Caucasus region and it has been attested by all sides of argument in the region.
 
In January 2018, Head of Armenia-Iran Parliamentary Friendship Group Vahram Baghdasaryan lauded Iran's balanced approach to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
 
Back in mid-May 2016, thanks to mediating efforts by Tehran, Moscow and some other countries, leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan promised to seek a non-military resolution to the conflict in disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region and give their support to the ongoing ceasefire in the region.
