Baku. Ramil Mammadli-APA. "OSCE Minsk Group mediation in the settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be endless.
On the other hand, the world lost its trust in fair approach of
superpowers to solution to the problems", said Iran’s Ambassador to
Azerbaijan Naser Hamidi Zareh, APA reports. The Ambassador said Iran
concerned about the war situation between its two neighbors. "Iran can
make effective steps toward the solution to the conflict alongside with
other mediators. This issue was sincerely announced at the meetings
between the Iranian and Azerbaijani presidents, as well as during
the visit of our Foreign Minister to Baku. Both sides confirmed that
there was such opportunity".
The diplomat said Iran’s mediation in the solution to the
conflict needed in acceptance of the realities by Azerbaijan and
Armenia. "Everyone knows that such conflicts continue for decades
and then are put aside. Armenia and Azerbaijan can be in close
sincere relations with Iran and can ask assistance to solution to
the conflict. This issue should be announced by the officials of
both countries. It should be taken into consideration that Iran is
the regional country and we know each other well. In this term we
can develop our relations in future".
The Iranian Ambassador touched upon the fact of occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. "Azerbaijani People, as Muslims, do not lose
its resoluteness. The people look at its occupied lands as the
homeland. Both ordinary people and high-ranking officials are
tirelessly continuing to fight for peaceful solution to the conflict".
