Iran is doubtful whether peacekeepers should be deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh, said Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

“Iran defined two positions on the Karabakh issue. The first is territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, the second – peaceful resolution of the conflict. Iran is supportive of a settlement in the context of regional negotiations. Help from external forces does not seem plausible,” he told journalists in Baku.

He stressed that Azerbaijan initially preferred to resolve the issue through international organizations, Salamnews reports.

“However, if Azerbaijan turns to us, the Iranian government is always ready to mediate and help in resolving the conflict,” Larijani said adding that Iran has always supported Azerbaijan in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and other international agenices.
