TEHRAN, Iran’s foreign ministry urged, yesterday, neighbouring Azerbaijan and Armenia, to overcome tensions and conflicts, and vowed to offer “any kind of assistance” to broker a lasting peace between the two countries.

In a statement, published on the ministry’s official website, spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, expressed Iran’s concern over continuing border clashes between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The Iranian official voiced regret over deaths and injuries, endured by both countries, and stressed the need for mutual restraint and the respect of internationally recognised borders.

On Wednesday, both Azerbaijan and Armenia confirmed the two sides recently engaged in a new border clash, which caused casualties from both sides.
