BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 10.​ The development
of relations with the friendly, brotherly, and neighboring
Azerbaijan is of particular importance for Iran, the country’s
ambassador, Mojtaba Demirchilou, said at an event dedicated to the
47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran,
held in Baku today, Trend reports.


According to him, these relations are based on a shared history,
cultural, religious, and linguistic closeness, as well as kinship
ties, and are shaped by mutual interests.


The ambassador noted that these days mark the 34th anniversary
of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s recognition of the independence
of Azerbaijan and the establishment of official diplomatic
relations between the two countries. The Islamic Republic of Iran
was among the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan’s
independence in December 1991, and in March 1992, with the opening
of Iran’s embassy in Baku, a solid institutional foundation was
laid for the development of bilateral relations.


Demirchilou also said that over the past 34 years, Iran has
demonstrated a principled and unwavering position in support of the
inviolability of Azerbaijan’s independence, the strengthening of
its national sovereignty, and the restoration of its territorial
integrity, and has always shown solidarity with the Azerbaijani
state and people.


“Today as well, as a result of the political will of the highest
leadership of both countries, bilateral relations continue to
develop along an upward trajectory. Ongoing dialogue between the
presidents and other high-ranking officials, the implementation of
joint economic projects, including in the energy and transport
sectors, as well as the regular holding of meetings of the joint
commission on economic, scientific, and cultural cooperation, all
play an important role in this process.


We are confident that through the continuation and strengthening
of this positive momentum, the friendly and fraternal relations
between our countries will rise to a new level, and our peoples
will more deeply feel the benefits of this steadfast partnership,”
he added.
