BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 5. It has been
repeatedly stated to the Iranian side, especially after the clashes
last year, that no neighboring state will be allowed to use
Azerbaijani territory for any purpose against them. We will not
permit this, just as we have never permitted it up to now,
President Ilham Aliyev said during a meeting of the Security Council, Trend reports.
Recalling that in the summer months of last year and in the
subsequent period, unfounded accusations were leveled against us
from Iran, and state-controlled media resources conducted a vile
smear and slander campaign against Azerbaijan to tarnish the
country and influence the views of Azerbaijanis living in Iran, the
Head of State said: “Because they know very well that today, the
independent Azerbaijani state is also a place of hope for many
Azerbaijanis living in Iran.”
