Yerevan rules out Tehran’s mediation in Garabagh talks
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian has said Yerevan does not
consider as real the possibility of Iran’s brokering talks on
resolving the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Upper (Nagorno)
Garabagh. He does not believe the format of the mediating mission
can be altered, Armenia Today news agency reported.
Sarkisian does not expect the dynamic of peace talks to change in 2010.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki recently said that Tehran was ready to act as a mediator in Garabagh talks.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani districts in defiance of international law. The Minsk Group, co-chaired by the United States, Russia and France, is brokering peace talks.*
