Baku/05.10.21/Turan: During his visit to Jabrayil yesterday, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reacted to a number of anti-Azerbaijani statements by the top political and military leadership of Iran.
Earlier, last Sunday, Iran's religious leader Ali Khamenei, speaking to graduates of the military school, stated that the events in the north-west of Iran and some neighboring countries should be settled without military interference of foreigners.
Note that Khamenei was followed by Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahian. In an interview with local television, he said: "We will never tolerate the existence of the fake Zionist regime near the Iranian border and its provocative actions, as well as geopolitical changes in the region and its borders."
Responding to these accusations, President Ilham Aliyev stated that Azerbaijan pursues a policy based on principles of independence.
He accused the Iranian leadership of slander and demanded proof.
Political commentator Sadraddin Soltan commented on the tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran in the program "A Difficult Question".
According to the expert, the reason for the growing tensions between the two countries is that Iran perceives Azerbaijan as a slave, easily controllable country. For 30 years Iran has been trying to pursue this policy through various manipulations using Armenia as an instrument for this goal achievement.
Soltan believes that the cornerstone of Iranian foreign policy is the thesis of confrontation with Zionism under the slogans "Death to Israel" and "Death to America". In so doing, the expert claims, Tehran is convinced that the United States and Israel have occupied Azerbaijan. Therefore, Iran would like the presence in Azerbaijan, as is the case in Iraq and Syria, of SEPAH (Sepah-e pasdaran-e enqelab-e Eslami - IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps), armed formations created by it.
"In short, Iran wants to see Azerbaijan dependent on itself both politically and militarily. And when it fails, Iran seeks to exert pressure," says Soltan.—0—
