Iran sent a note of protest to Azerbaijan. What will be Azerbaijan's response?

Baku/15.11.22/Turan: The Ambassador of the Republic of Azerbaijan to Iran, Ali Alizade, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, where he was handed a note of protest. According to the Iranian press, on November 14, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani Chafi told journalists about this. The note of protest was sent in connection with the "criminal activities" of Azerbaijani citizens in Iran, he said.

But for some reason this information was not published in the main media of Azerbaijan. This information was confirmed to other local media by the head of the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Ayhan Hajizade. However, the representative of the Foreign Ministry did not comment on the text of the Iranian Foreign Ministry's statement.

This was followed by a telephone conversation between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan Jeyhun Bayramov and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran Hussein Amir Abdullahian. The parties stated the need to resolve the recent situation in relations between the two countries, concerns about public rhetoric and other existing problems, within the framework of mutual dialogue and understanding.

The political observer Zardusht Alizade commented on the issue in the "Difficult Question" program.

If citizens of one state violated the law on the territory of a foreign state, then their state is not responsible for them, unless it sent these citizens to commit a crime, he said.

“I don't know anything about this, and therefore I can't say what kind of “criminal activity” of Azerbaijani citizens Iran is protesting,” Alizadeh said.

According to him, the message of the State Security Service of Azerbaijan about the exposure of the agent network created by the Iranian secret services cannot but cause irony.

“This report says that one of the defendants sent photos and video footage of equipment presented at the TEKNOFEST aviation, space and technology festival to representatives of the Iranian special services. But what is shown at the exhibition cannot be a secret. Can this serve as a basis for an accusation of espionage?” the observer asked.

“I’m generally wondering what secrets Azerbaijan can have? We do not have an advanced military-industrial complex. As for the war with Armenia, it is a local war. And here, too, there can be no special secrets,” Alizade is convinced.
