Iran used its appearance at the World Urban Forum in Baku this week to call for international support for post-war reconstruction, telling delegates that tens of thousands of units had been damaged or destroyed in dozens of towns and cities since February.

"We expect by conveying this message that other countries will understand our reconstruction message," Gholamreza Kazemian Shirvan, Iran's Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development for Urban Planning and Architecture, told Euronews in an interview at the forum.
