Tehran, 20 April: Minster of Defence [Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar] has
denied the report filed by Associated Press concerning Azerbaijan’s
mediation between Iran and America as a sheer lie.
Gen Kalantari, the deputy minister of defence for defensive and
international cooperation, in a telephone conversation with Fars News
Agency emphatically denied the news published by Associated Press
concerning Azerbaijan’s mediation between Iran and America.
He stressed: There have been no discussions concerning the mediation
of Azerbaijan over Iran’s relations with America and the report filed
by this agency is a sheer lie.
A few hours ago, Associated Press had announced that Iran’s defence
minister in his meeting with the president of Azerbaijan had said
that this country may mediate between Iran and America.
