Baku/20.02.23/Turan: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani responded with restraint to the accusations of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev about the involvement of the Iranian authorities in the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran.
"Unsubstantiated interpretations of the incident in the media are not a constructive approach in the legal and judicial proceedings of the case.
As the relevant authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have repeatedly stressed, the case is under judicial review, and all aspects of the incident are being carefully and thoroughly investigated," he said.
Iran is ready to provide the Azerbaijani side with the results of the investigation. All the ambiguities and questions that the Azerbaijani authorities have will be answered in a cooperative and constructive manner, he concluded.
It ought to be noted that on 27 January a gunman attacked the Embassy twice within half an hour, killing one and wounding two security personnel. Iranian police and security forces did not interfere with him, observing the incident. After the second attack he was detained. Immediately afterwards, the Iranian authorities arranged a television interview with the attacker, explaining the incident as "family problems".
Baku has unequivocally qualified the attack as a terrorist attack and accused the Iranian authorities of involvement. "Without punishing the Iranian officials responsible for this terrorist attack, normalization of bilateral relations will be impossible," Ilham Aliyev said in Munich the day before. -02B-
