Iran supports dialogue between Azerbaijan and Armenia to solve their
dispute over Karabakh.

Hosseini told reporters.

He said, "We believe that settlement of the dispute will play a
key role in the process of guaranteeing stability and sustainable
development in the region."

of countries, including Azerbaijan’s, Iran welcomes recent constructive
dialogue, especially between the two countries’ presidents.

He announced Iran’s readiness to provide all kinds of assistance that
can help facilitate eventual settlement of the problem.

He said that being completely aware that removal of ostilities would
have an undeniable role in guaranteeing regional peace, stability
and development, Iran seriously supports the any type of talks and
negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan that would lead to an
agreement.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
