A senior Armenian official has called for Iran's active cooperation in any collective effort to establish security in the Caucasus region.
It is vital that Iran plays an active role in all significant aspects of the region's development, including security, Secretary of the Armenian National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan said in a Sunday meeting with his Iranian counterpart Saeed Jalili. Baghdasaryan's comments come as the Caucasus region remains divided on two issues: the dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan and the conflict between Russia and Georgia.
During the past decades, Iran has launched several efforts to build bridges between countries of the region, especially its northerly neighbors Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Iran's policy is to support stronger peace and security in the region and prevent crisis," Jalili told the visiting Armenian official.
The meeting between the two officials came days after Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint declaration calling for a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh dispute.
