Azerbaijan wants to maintain \"good neighborly\" relations with all regional states, and for that reason will not join any coalition against Iran, Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told journalists in Baku on April 6. Azimov said his recent talks in Washington touched on Iran\'s insistence on its right to conduct uranium enrichment and the hypothetical threat to the region from Iranian nuclear weapons.
