Tehran Offers Plan to End Conflict Over Karabakh

By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh announced Monday that the country has prepared a plan to put an end to the decades-old conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Iran is closely watching the developments near its northwestern border and is in contact with both parties, Khatibzadeh said during his weekly press conference.

“From the day the conflict started, Iran told both parties that there will be no military solution to solve the decades-old dispute. Again, while respecting the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the need to withdraw forces from occupied cities, we stress that military conflict should be halted swiftly for the start of comprehensive political dialogue.”

“Iran has prepared a detailed plan in this regard based on the framework that I mentioned and it will be pursued through consultation with both sides and regional countries,” the spokesman added.
