Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Shamkhani
Baku/16.10.21/Turan: Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Shamkhani commented on the accusations of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev about Iran's involvement in drug trafficking through the Caucasus, reported IRNA.
"Last year, after Azerbaijan restored control over a 130-kilometer section of Iran's state border road, which had been under Armenian control for 30 years, it stopped drug trafficking through Jabrail (Jrakan) from Iran to Armenia and Europe," Aliyev said at the October 15 session of the CIS Council of Heads of State.
"Ignoring the principles and demands of neighbors and making false and unconstructive statements is not a sign of good faith and prudence. Blaming a country that the international community recognizes as a hero in the fight against drugs has no effect other than discrediting the speaker's words," Shamkhani wrote on Twitter.
In so doing, he warned Aliyev against the "traps set by the devil."
Note that earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh also rejected Aliyev's new statements against Iran at the CIS meeting. "Such accusations serve only the interests of Israel which are aimed at worsening fraternal relations between the peoples of Iran and Azerbaijan," Khatibzadeh stressed.-0-
