In a statement on Sunday, the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Baku noted that based on official sources in the Republic of Azerbaijan, since the beginning of a new wave of clashes between the Azerbaijan and Armenia in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding cities, a large number of citizens in Azerbaijan, including women and children, have been killed and injured and many civilian facilities and centers have been destroyed.

The office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Azerbaijan reported that as of October 3, 19 civilians have been killed and 63 other injured, and 44 civilian facilities along with 181 houses have also been destroyed, added the statement.

Iranian Embassy further emphasized the need to respect human rights and international humanitarian law and strongly condemned any aggression against civilians and extended its condolences to the bereaved families.

Dozens have been reported killed as Azerbaijan and Armenia continue fighting in the South Caucasus breakaway region of Karabakh.

The region, internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, has been under Armenian control since the early 1990s.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a Twitter message said Tehran is closely monitoring the alarming violence in Nagorno-Karabakh, stressing “our region needs peace”.

“Iran is closely monitoring the alarming violence in Nagorno-Karabakh,” Zarif tweeted on Sunday.

“We call for an immediate end to hostilities and urge dialogue to resolve differences.

“Our neighbors are our priority and we are ready to provide good offices to enable talks.

“Our region needs peace now.”

According to reports coming from the region, clashes erupted between Azerbaijan and Armenia on Sunday over the volatile Nagorno-Karabakh region, reigniting concern about instability in the South Caucasus, a corridor for pipelines transporting oil and gas to world markets.

Both sides, which fought a war in the 1990s, reported fatalities. Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway region that is inside Azerbaijan but is run by ethnic Armenians, declared martial law and mobilized their male populations.

Iran called on Azerbaijan and Armenia to exercise restraint and engage in negotiations.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran is closely monitoring military conflicts between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Armenia with concern, and while inviting both parties to show self-restraint, calls for immediate cessation of clashes and initiation of talks between the two countries,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Sunday.

He added that Tehran is ready to employ all its capacities to help establish a cease-fire and start peace talks between the two sides.

Nagorno-Karabakh broke away from Azerbaijan in a conflict that broke out as the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

At least 200 people were killed in a flare of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in April 2016. There are frequent skirmishes and at least 16 were reported killed in clashes in July.
