Iran underscores good neighborliness policy regarding Azerbaijan: FM spox
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani underscored that Tehran insists on treating the Republic of Azerbaijan with the “good neighborliness” policy. Kanaani made the remarks addressing a press conference on Monday.
Referring to the issue of tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan, the spokesman warned that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan have enemies.
The Israeli regime is one of the enemies of the bilateral relations between the two countries and two nations, he added.
The Islamic Republic of Iran underlines the establishment of good neighborliness, friendly relations, and mutual respect, while focusing on common interests, said Kanaani.
Understanding the fact that some people benefit from creating differences between two countries, Iran has tried to overcome the recent tensions through diplomatic initiatives and used political and diplomatic approaches to manage relations, he said.
Elsewhere in his press conference, the diplomat referred to recent developments between Iran and Saudi Arabia, saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran enjoys many capacities and has always been an influential country in regional and international developments due to its undeniable role in regional equations.
Regarding the invitation of top diplomats of Iran and Saudi Arabia, Kanaani said Iranian and Saudi foreign ministers had earlier extended invitations to each other.
The invitation from Saudi King Salman to Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has also been received, and the Iranian president has invited the Saudi king as well, the spokesman highlighted. We do not tie our relations with the world to the JCPOA, he stressed.
He noted that Iran will not limit its foreign relations to a specific region or a specific bloc.
In another part of his press conference, the spokesman rejected the concept of a unipolar world, saying that the United States is still a power, but no longer a superpower.
