Head of Iran's Presidential Office Mahmoud Vaezi on Tuesday expressed joy over the end of military conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia, saying that Iran is ready to help resolve permanently and definitively the dispute between the two neighboring countries.

In a meeting with Azerbaijan's Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev on Tuesday, he added that Iran has always believed that differences between countries, especially neighbors, should be resolved through negotiation, and that war could in no way replace political solutions, IRNA reported.

Iran considers its border with this country as the border of peace and friendship and has always respected the territorial integrity of all countries and called on other countries to respect each other's territorial integrity, he said.

It is necessary to avoid any action or movement that causes misunderstanding and creates grounds for strained relations with others, Vaezi reiterated.

Noting that Iran has always been interested to enhance ties with Azerbaijan, he said that the two countries should do their best to accelerate implementation of joint projects such as the construction of railways, dams and power plants in order to pave way for the expansion of interactions and relations.
