Bahrami expressed his country’s stand over the conflict and noted that if Armenia and Azerbaijan agree Iran will become mediator in peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. “Iran which is a neighboring country both for Azerbaijan and for Armenia supports peaceful settlement of the conflict and, therefore, is committed to the pacific resolution and establishment of stability in the region,” the Ambassador said.
