ArmInfo.Any foreign intervention in the Nagorno- Karabakh issue will not only fail to resolve the problem, but will prolong conflicts and tensions and complicate the situation. As IRNA reports with reference to the press service of the Iranian president, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said this during a telephone conversation with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
During the talks, Rouhani expressed deep concern over the existing tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the ongoing hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh. "War and military conflicts are not the best way to solve problems and disputes, but only complicate the situation," the Iranian president said. Rouhani added that stability and security can be the cornerstone of the region's development, noting that the region cannot tolerate new conflicts or armed aggression.
Referring to the long-standing disagreements between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Karabakh conflict, Rouhani stressed the need to find a solution to this conflict within the framework of international law and territorial integrity.
In his words, it is very important for Iran that Armenia and Azerbaijan stop the conflict and show restraint on this issue.
Rouhani declared the readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran to play any constructive role that two friendly and neighboring countries wish. "Our desire is an immediate end to the conflict, and we should all strive to solve the problems of the region by political means within the framework of international norms," he concluded.
