Baku. Suleyman Farzaliyev – APA. "Azerbaijan is a country which we
love as our homeland. Its affable and hospitable people are native for
us", said Iranian deputy from Ardabil and head of Azerbaijan-Iran
interparliamentary friendship group Seyid Kazim Mousavi in his
exclusive interview to APA.

He noted that the development of relations in political, economic and
cultural spheres would be discussed during the forthcoming visits to
Azerbaijan: "Azerbaijan is a developed and independent country in the
region. Azerbaijan is famous for its inexhaustible natural resources
and wise people. There is no doubt about the further development and
strengthening of this country".

Mousavi said that they wanted to mediate between Azerbaijan and
Armenia in the Nagorno Karabakh problem and works had started in this
direction: "We try to solve the conflict soon. Of course, we protect
the just position of Azerbaijan. Nagorno Karabakh is not a disputed
zone. It has a concrete owner, and the owner is Azerbaijan. We don’t
want the conflict to stir up".

To him, there is no place for US in this region: "They want to do
their works by exploiting nations in different ways. Aggressive state
as the US has to protect Armenia not Azerbaijan. No country except
Armenia creates atmosphere for America in the region. Azerbaijan’s
non-participation at the Nuclear Summit in Washington and participation
of Armenia is an obvious evidence for it".

Note that members of Iran-Azerbaijan interparliamentary friendship
group will pay visit to Azerbaijan on April 26.
