YEREVAN. – Armenia appreciates Iran’s balanced position on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian on Tuesday told the abovementioned to reporters, as he summed up the year 2015.

Reflecting on Iran’s repeated proposal to act as a mediator in resolving this conflict, the FM said the ongoing Karabakh negotiations have not yet achieved any progress not because the mediators are bad, or the proposals are ineffective.

“[It’s because] Azerbaijan has no political will,” Nalbandian stated.

At the same time, the Armenian FM expressed confidence that Iran is genuinely interested in a swift resolution to the Karabakh conflict.
