Baku / 14.10.20 / Turan: Iran has again voiced its position on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict: respect for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and end the occupation of its lands.
Iran considers the solution to the Karabakh conflict to be a dialogue based on international rules, said the head of the Iranian presidential administration Mahmoud Vaezi, commenting on the Russian Federation's initiative to end hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh. IRNA reports.
“We welcome any act leading to an end to the conflict and bloodshed in our region,” he said.
According to him, Iran's unchanging position on Karabakh is the recognition and respect for the territorial integrity of the countries according to international borders.
“We always emphasize the need to end the occupation and the conflict will be resolved if this principle is respected,” he added.
"A precondition for any dialogue is a ceasefire," Vaezi said, noting that Iran would thank Russia for its mediation efforts in the Karabakh conflict and hopes that both countries will adhere to the current conclusions in this context.
Earlier, on October 6, Foreign Affairs Advisor to the Spiritual Leader of Iran and ex-Foreign Minister of this country Ali Akbar Velayati said in an interview with YJC that Armenia should immediately leave the occupied lands of Azerbaijan.
“We respect the principle of the territorial integrity of states. As a UN member state, Iran adheres to a principled position on this issue. Especially when the conflicting countries are our northern neighbors,” he said.
Ali Khamenei's adviser noted the inadmissibility of the occupation of the territory of one country by another.
“Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions of the Azerbaijan Republic are occupied. The UN has adopted four resolutions on this issue. All of them demand from Armenia to leave the occupied lands, to return to international borders," Velayati said.-0-
