Iranian Embassy: Charge against us is a lie

The Iranian embassy in Baku  issued a statement refuting the allegations of transfer of money to activists of the Movement "REAL". "Once again, we have witnessed a revival of  Iranophobia in Azerbaijan, and unwillingness of certain forces to strengthen and improve the Iranian-Azerbaijani relations",  reads  the  statement. In particular, the Iranian embassy  is unhappy with the publications in the media and the campaign of accusations against the Iranian diplomat, who allegedly gave the money to the needs of the opposition government organization.

Meeting  with Iranian diplomat was  "open and in accordance with the diplomatic activity,"  noted in the document. It is remarkable that media  which wrote about the meeting  did not react to a similar meeting of representatives of other diplomatic missions in Baku with the same organization. The talk is about  the visit  the Iranian diplomat to the  office of the “REAL” Movement on January 27, and the conversation with its leadership. Several days later, Eynulla  Fatullayev wrote on his website that the Iranian diplomat handed the money to "REAL".

This caused a  ground to the Azerbaijani Prosecutor General's Office to start an investigation,  and summoning  every day members of the "REAL" for interrogation.

It is odd  that the prosecution had not guessed to summon for interrogation Fatullayev and ask him where from he got this information. -16D-
