‘Azerbaijan will not allow Israel to attack Iran from its territory’
The Republic of Azerbaijan’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Fariz Rzayev said in an interview with Israeli media that it will not permit the Tel Aviv regime to launch an attack on Iran from its territory.
“Azerbaijan does not interfere in the conflicts of other countries, therefore, it will not allow Israel to attack Iran from its territory,” he said.
“Our relations with Iran are, unfortunately, at a very low level,” Rzayev also said, speaking at a conference on “Vision & Strategy in an Era of Uncertainty,” which was held in the Occupied Palestinian territories, according to Tasnim news agency.
Following recent developments in bilateral relations and issues stemming from an armed attack with personal motivation on the Azeri Embassy in Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Azeri counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov held two telephone conversations in early February to discuss their ties and regional matters.
During these calls, Iran and Azerbaijan emphasized the importance of better managing the media in a way that aligns with the interests of both nations.
Additionally, the foreign ministers of the two countries had their third telephone conversation within a week in February, focusing on the latest bilateral developments.
The foreign ministers stressed the need to follow up on the agreements between their respective countries.
Abbas Mousavi, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Republic of Azerbaijan, also recently had a meeting and discussion with Hikmat Hajiyev, the assistant to the Azeri president.
Mousavi expressed hope that the ongoing bilateral talks would yield an outcome in favor of the interests of both countries and the region.
