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.
