BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 20. The Azerbaijani
embassy in Tehran and the consulate in Tabriz have been
consistently active regarding citizens in Iran, Azerbaijan's
Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov told reporters during his visit to
the Alley of Martyrs in connection with January 20 - Day of
Mourning, Trend
reports.
"Our embassy in Tehran, as well as our consulate in Tabriz, has
not ceased operations for even an hour during this entire period.
Therefore, whenever our citizens there face any difficulties, there
is official information available, meaning we do not see any
serious problems here. Both our embassy and consulate are fully
operational in this regard," he said.
The protests, which erupted in late December in Iran, were
primarily triggered by the sharp depreciation of the national
currency, escalating inflation, and various other economic
hardships. While casualty reports have been circulating, the exact
figures remain undisclosed.
