In a meeting with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijani Jeyhun Bayramov, held in Tehran on Wednesday, President Rouhani highlighted Iran’s clear policies on the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute and its support for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan Republic. The president also expressed satisfaction with the cessation of a recent war between Baku and Yerevan, the liberation of occupied Azeri territories, and the establishment of a ceasefire. Pointing to Iran’s proposed plan for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and deployment of special envoys to Russia, the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia, President Rouhani voiced the Islamic Republic’s readiness to play a “constructive role” in maintaining the truce between Baku and Yerevan and ensuring stability in the region. Iran is also ready to take part in the process of reconstruction of the newly-freed Azeri lands, the president added. “Considering the neighborliness of the two countries and the existing facilities in Iran, Iran’s participation and partnership in the reconstruction of the regions harmed by the Karabakh war would benefit the both nations,” President Rouhani stated. Hailing the brotherly and friendly ties between Tehran and Baku, the president stressed the need to take advantage of the common border to promote the economic and trade cooperation. “The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to expand relations with the Republic of Azerbaijan, and we hope that the bilateral relations would further grow given the opportunity provided by the new international conditions,” President Rouhani noted.
