PanARMENIAN.Net – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hosted a press
conference with representatives of world media on the sidelines of
United Nations General Assembly 66th session in New York.

The last question at news conference was posed by an Armenian reporter
who asked about the status of the Armenians residing in Iran and the
Tehran Government’s viewpoint on granting the status of autonomy to
the people of Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

Ahmadinejad said, `Different peoples live in Iran and they enjoy equal
rights. The Armenians, too, live quite at ease in Iran and despite
their small minority they have a number of representatives at the
Iranian National Islamic Parliament.’

The president also said that Tehran’s relations with both Baku and
Yerevan are good, adding, `Our suggestion is that Azerbaijan and
Armenia should meet at negotiation table and solve the problems based
on justice.’

He reiterated, `If this measure would be observed no problem would
remain unsolved,’ IRNA reported.
