Iran-based Mehr news agency has indicated Azerbaijan’s Nagorno-Karabakh region as an Armenian province.
“Agriculture minister” of Nagorno-Karabakh separatists Armo Saturyan is on a visit to Iran, APA reports quoting MEHR agency. Saturyan told journalists in his interview in the main city of Iranian Central province Arak that they needed Iran’s support very much.

“We need Iran’s support very much, because our "country" is at war and as a result agriculture techniques became useless. We must use agriculture of Iranian Central province for eliminating damages of the war”, he said.

Reportedly, there was an agreement signed with Iran on purchase of 20 combine harvesters.

We have already taken over 10 of them: “Soon we will purchase combine harvester and agriculture equipment worth 1 million dollars”.

Satoryan invited Iranian businessmen to invest in Nagorno-Karabakh and said that there were good and suitable conditions for it.

MEHR news agency also described Nagorno Karabakh region of Azerbaijan as an Armenian province.

Commentibg on this issue, Spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov said that the ministry set task to Azerbaijani embassy in Iran to conduct investigation on this issue. Appropriate measures will be taken depending on results of the investigation.
