Saying Iran has a common border with Nagorno-Karabakh, Iranian Ambassador to RA Seyed Ali Saghaeyan meant geographic territory of Karabakh, that comprises not only Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Republic, but also adjacent territories, called safety zone or liberated ones. All this encompasses geographic definition of Nagorno-Karabakh, said head of Hay Dat office and political affairs Bureau Director Giro Manoyan.

Many countries are unaware of this or reluctant to acknowledge. However, Iran as a bordering state is well aware of the fact and is not afraid of open statements on the matter. It is in this context we have to consider Iranian ambassador’s words that Iran, as the only country having a border with Nagorno-Karabakh is against a dislocation of international peacekeepers around their borders. He voiced Tehran’s official stance," Manoyan stated.
