Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Friday that potential sanctions on neighboring Iran because of Tehran's disputed nuclear program could have a negative impact on the region.
Aliyev told reporters in Baku that sanctions "can have a big impact on regional development in general." Azerbaijan is a key regional ally for the United States and has also built close diplomatic and trade relations with Iran, with which it shares ethnic and cultural links. RFE/RL
