Baku excludes possibility of Iran’s participation in Karabakh conflict settlement

Head of the Center for Political Innovation and Technology Mubariz Ahmedoglu said that Azerbaijan gradually comes to the conclusion that Iran should in no way participate in the Karabakh conflict settlement.

Baku will soon officially announce its position on the inadmissibility of Iran’s involvement in the Karabakh conflict settlement process, he said.

Referring to the Armenian-Iranian relations, the political analyst said: “small Armenia will swallow big Iran.”

“It is known that through Armenia the U.S. provides Green Cards for the Iranian political leaders to reside in America, Armenians factually govern Iran’s policy. It is a matter of several hours for Iran to solve the Karabakh conflict from the point of view of Muslims’ interests – it would be enough to allow the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry to organize a military operation from Iran’s territory neighboring with Karabakh. However, Tehran rejects this request of Azerbaijan, agreeing to further deportation of Muslims from their historical lands by Armenians,” Novosti-Azerbaijan quoted Ahmedoglu as saying.
