The Iranian side does not return the Azerbaijani citizens arrested
Contrary to official statements by Iranian officials for the release of those arrested on April 30 in this country, the citizens of Azerbaijan Khalida Khalid and Shamhal Huseynov still have not been transferred to the Azerbaijani side.
"We are continuing contacts with Iran for the speedy transfer of the citizens of Azerbaijan, " the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman told Turan.
In turn, the former state adviser on foreign policy Guluzade said that Iran's actions are contrary to international law and diplomacy. He noted that Azerbaijani citizens were arrested for unknown reasons.
"The Iranian authorities did not clarify why they arrested the zens of Azerbaijan. In normal legal and democratic states the police explain the reasons for the arrest. According to the Convention on diplomatic service, the arrested should have a meeting with the staff of their embassy or consulate of the country," said Guluzadeh.
As examples, Guluzadeh pointed out that the Russian citizen Viktor Bout accused in the U.S. of supplying weapons to dictatorships is provided the opportunity to meet with diplomats of his country and his family. However, in Iran, international standards do not work.
Guluzadeh also pointed to the danger of visiting Iran. Anyone can be arrested for no apparent reason. In this country, international law only works when they receive instructions from the leaders.
Political scientist Hikmet Hajizadeh said that the Iranian court, according to procedural rules, should decide on the release of the Azerbaijani citizens.
Recall that during his visit to Iran, the head of the Caucasian Muslims Office, Sheikh Allahshukur Pashazade May 18-21, the Iranians announced the release of the Azerbaijani citizens.
Subsequently, representatives of Iran disavowed those messages, saying they need to comply with certain procedures before giving the citizens of Azerbaijan back. Thus, Tehran has once again demonstrated disrespect and disregard of official Baku. In fact, deceiving members of the Azerbaijani delegation, which included deputies of the ruling party.
