Iranian Ambassador: Those Working for Worsening Teheran-Baku Relations Will Not Succeed

PanARMENIAN.Net - «My attitude to anti-Iranian statements at the II World Azerbaijanis Congress cannot cause worsening relations between our countries. Those, who work for that will not succeed,» Iranian Ambassador to AzerbaijanAfshar Suleymani stated in a conversation with journalists. In his words, though statements like that cannot upset bilateral relations, they can result in misunderstanding.



The Iranian diplomat said he supports the idea of creation of a commission to overcome misunderstanding between the two countries over historical matters. «Many Azerbaijanis live in Iran. This means that from the moral point of view we also have the right to convene a world Azerbaijanis congress. Using Azerbaijanis as a tool in the relations is inadmissible. It would be better if there was transparency in relations between our countries,» the Iranian diplomat said.
