IRAN CANNOT BE INVOLVED IN SETTLING NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT – …
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has ruled out the possibility
that Iran might join the efforts to settle the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh.
"I deem Iran’s mediation in settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
impossible. The mediating mission’s format will not change. The
intensity of the negotiating process will see no changes in 2010,
either," Sargsyan said in reply to a question from Interfax at a press
conference on Friday.
The Iranian foreign minister had proposed earlier that he could act as
a mediator in settling the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Armenian prime minister also declined to comment on Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili’s remark to the effect that the Nagorno-
Karabakh conflict needs to be settled with Azerbaijan’s territorial
integrity preserved and that the Armenian-Turkish relations should be
settled with Baku’s interests taken into account.
"Not all statements by high-ranking officials deserve comments,"
Sargsyan said.
