Iran for stability in Caucasus

Iran’s Parliament speaker said Saturday Tehran would do its utmost to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan which is being claimed by Armenia.

Ali Larijani said establishing peace and security in the region is Iran’s strategic policy and the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute can be resolved through more cooperation between regional countries.

Larijani made the comments during a meeting with his Azeri counterpart, Ogtay Asadov, in Tehran.

Asadov later met with the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, who called for more cooperation between regional countries and accused the West of fomenting discord in the region.
