Iranian MP: We stand by Azerbaijan's position on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

“Azerbaijan is a country which we love as much as our homeland. Its affable and hospitable people are native for us”, said Iranian MP from Ardabil and head of Azerbaijan-Iran interparliamentary friendship group Seyid Kazim Mousavi.

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”.

Members of Iran-Azerbaijan interparliamentary friendship group will pay visit to Azerbaijan on April 26.
