The Iranian lawmaker said that we consider Azerbaijani people as our relatives. Currently, many of the people in Iran’s East Azerbaijan Province have many relatives in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Alireza Beigi referred to the proximity between the two nations, saying that it is partly due to the Shia culture in both countries.
He said that Tehran and Baku should make the most of this capacity of friendship as well as a common language for expansion of ties, especially economic ties. Alireza Beigi said that Iran has capabilities that can be shared with the people of Azerbaijan.
By improving the level of cooperation, both neighbors can bar foreigners from interfering in their relations, he said.
He also said that both countries should prioritize the establishment of security at their borders. He noted that we are not happy about what happened in relations between the two countries. An incident such as the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran should not have occurred.
