Iran has asked Armenia to withdraw from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
Ali Akbar Belayeti, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made the call on Tuesday, the country’s state news agency IRNA reported.
Ali Akbar Belayeti said: “Just as we are against the occupation of the Palestinian territory through Israel, we are also against the occupation in the Karabakh issue.”
“Azerbaijan and Armenia are our neighbors to the north,” he told the Iranian daily Keihan. Armenia occupies the territory of neighboring Azerbaijan. They have occupied at least six cities in southern Armenia.
Mentioning that there are four United Nations statements on the matter, Belayeti said that all statements claim that a part of Azerbaijan is occupied by Armenia. The statements called for Armenia to renounce its occupation and return to its international borders. Iran also wants Azerbaijan to return to the country. More than 1 million people in Azerbaijan have become refugees as a result of the occupation of these territories.
Iran’s Supreme Leader’s adviser added that Iran believes in respecting the geographical integrity of all countries. It is part of the principles of the UN Charter. We, as members of the United Nations, adhere to this policy.
By the way, the Azerbaijani army is fighting with all its might to liberate the illegally occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding police stations in Armenia. Every day, new areas become independent.
