The Caucasus region has important points for convergence but developments during the past month caused many problems for the region, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said in a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart, Edward Nalbandian, in Tehran Tuesday.

Mottaki added that Iran, as a neighbor to the sensitive region of the Caucasus, presented a proposal on consultation among regional countries with the aim of drawing up strategies for cooperation.

Mottaki said that following the directions of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he made separate visits to Russia, Azerbaijan and Germany. The minister added that the current visit by the Armenian foreign minister to Tehran is a 'good opportunity' to complete the chain of talks.

"Iran and Armenia share common concerns and stances on regional developments," Mottaki said.

Mottaki also expressed Iran's readiness to mediate between neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan over the Karabakh issue.

For his part, Edward Nalbandian said that Tehran and Yerevan enjoy the same position on the conflict in Georgia.

The Armenian minister noted that Iran has very interesting ideas and proposals, adding Yerevan would keep talking with Tehran about regional security and stability, PRESS TV reports.
