Baku, May 11, AZERTAC

Iran`s Foreign Ministry has criticized the so-called parliamentary elections held by the separatist regime in Azerbaijan`s Armenia-occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran respects territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan,” spokeswoman for Iran`s Foreign Affairs Ministry Marziyeh Afkham has told a weekly press briefing.

“Official Tehran does not recognize the so-called elections held in the Nagorno-Karabakh, and believes that such steps derail the negotiations aimed at finding a solution to the dispute,” Ms Afkham said.
