/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran always expressed its readiness for mediation
in Karabakh conflict settlement process.
"Iranian Foreign Minister gave no new information in his statement,"
Noravank research foundation deputy director, Iranologist Sevak
Sarukhanyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"Iran was the first country to act as a mediator between Armenia
and Azerbaijan. By expressing readiness to become a mediator, Tehran
seeks to reestablish its regional presence and show its interest in
Karabakh conflict settlement," Sevak Sarukhanyan said.
According to him, OSCE MG is the optimal format for Karabakh conflict
settlement; in these conditions Tehran will hardly manage to become
a mediator.
As Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Motakki stated at the meeting
with Azeri colleague Elmar Mammedyarov, Iran is ready to become a
mediator in Karabakh conflict settlement.
