Iran's ambassador: OSCE Minsk Group is not interested in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution

"OSCE MG is not interested in the conflict resolution," he said. "Iran proposes to fairly solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through using its potential."

He added that given Iran's relations with its neighbors, as well as its regional and international position, the country can contribute to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution.

"OSCE MG has been intending to solve the conflict for over 18 years. However, the conflict has not been resolved yet. Ensure of the regional security will contribute to its development. Resolution of the conflict through the negations is of benefit of region," Behrami said.

He said the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be resolved within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and Iran has always recognized Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

Some non-regional countries, as well as some forces within the two countries, do not want the Iranian-Azerbaijani relations to develop, he added.

Regarding the statement of the Iranian Ambassador to Armenia on that the Nagorno-Karabakh is the only country bordering with Iran, Behrami said the information contradicts the reality. " How can it be that the ambassador of a country that supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, spoke against it? I, on behalf of the Iranian government, the Foreign Ministry and the Iranian ambassador to Armenia, refute this information," he said.

"Iran, which has a joint border with the Nagorno-Karabakh, will state about its position and decision on issue of composition of the peacekeeping forces to be placed in this territory," the Iranian Ambassador to Armenia said earlier at the news conference while replying to the question asked about possible placement of the peacekeeping forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh.
