Iranian Leader's Aide Calls on Armenia to Return Occupied Lands to Azerbaijan Based on UN Resolutions - FarsNews Agency

Iranian Supreme Leader's top adviser for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati called on Armenia to evacuate Azerbaijan's occupied territories in compliance with 4 UN resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, but meantime urged both nations to stop war and seek a negotiated end to the conflict.


“The United Nations has passed 4 resolutions on Karabakh which all require Armenia to leave the occupied regions in Azerbaijan and return to the international borders,” Velayati said on Tuesday.

"The ongoing war between Iran’s two neighboring countries of Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia, and some ensuing developments, including the intrusion of the Zionist regime, Turkey and Takfiri terrorist groups into this war, and the occasional firing of bullets and mortars into Iranian soil are among the issues of concern that must stop immediately," he added.

"We respect the territorial integrity of all nations, which is one of the principles of the UN Charter, the official noted, adding, “As a member of the United Nations, we insist on this principle, especially since these two countries are our Northern neighbors."

"In this case, one country’s territory is occupied by another country. Parts of the South of the Republic of Azerbaijan, some 7 cities, are occupied by Armenia," the Supreme Leader’s top advisor said.
