SCFR Online – Opinion: At a time when the West Asia region, particularly in recent months, has been undergoing the most complex political and security developments of the past half-century, the sudden decision by the cabinet of the Zionist regime to recognize the Armenian genocide committed by Turkey, which has faced strong condemnation and opposition from Ankara and Baku, raises questions.
SCFR Online – Opinion: The recent aggressive war launched by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran not only failed to strengthen NATO, but also exposed the structural weaknesses, deep divisions, and identity crisis of this alliance more than ever before.
Strategic Council Online—Interview: Emphasizing that the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia should respect each other’s territorial integrity and observe international standards, an expert on international issues said that what happened with the blocking of Lachin corridor is against the standards of international law.

Strategic Council Online – The former Iranian ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan said: At the present juncture, the Islamic Republic should seek lasting peace over the Karabakh issue and the differences between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia, and ‘no war no peace” is not in the interest of any country in the region.
Strategic Council Online: Former Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan, outlining Russia’s agreement plan for a ceasefire between Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, said: This agreement has not dealt with resolving the Karabakh conflict and Iran’s mediation efforts to resolve the conflict and full liberation of Karabakh should be continued.
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: The Security Council of the United Nations has issued four resolutions so far on the Karabakh issue, asking Armenia to evacuate seven cities of the Republic of Azerbaijan; however, Yerevan has refused to withdraw. Therefore, the Security Council should convince Armenia, perhaps through the current mechanisms such as Chapter Seven of the Charter of the United Nations, to return these cities to the Republic of Azerbaijan.
