"We call on and warn citizens of Azerbaijan about unsafe traveling to Iran," said Elman Abdullayev, a Foreign Ministry Spokesman. Abdullayev was speaking at today's press briefing, commenting on the situation around the two Azerbaijani poets, held in Iran since May 2.
Abdullayev noted that Azerbaijani citizens are not allowed even to meet with the consul of their country. The Azerbaijani side has sent five notes to Iran on the subject, but no answers have been received.
In addition, the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan brought these issues up at meetings with the Iranian Ambassador and the Minister of Education. However, the only response was that the position of Baku would be presented to the government of his country.
The Iranian side spreads information that the citizens of Azerbaijan either committed a crime, or attempted to do so. Abdullayev said that the Azerbaijani government will always protect the rights of its citizens.—03B06--
