BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 5. Azerbaijan has made
it crystal clear that it won't let any country, including
outsiders, use its territory as a launching pad for attacks, and it
has shown this in action. However, the attack by the Iranian Armed
Forces on the Nakhchivan region with drones is a striking
illustration of the hypocrisy and ingratitude of the clerical
regime.


On March 5 (today), the Iranian Armed Forces fired drones at
Nakhchivan. As per usual, the clerical regime keeps mum and acts as
though nothing is amiss. However, the fact that one of the drones
fell on the Nakhchivan airport shows that the attack was
deliberate, with the main goal being to disable the airport. By
even trampling on its "believed" principles, the regime is trying
to prevent its neighbor from living peacefully. This demonstrates
how full of hatred it is, talking a good game about neighborly
relations while being dead set against any real principles and
human values.


Azerbaijan has always remained loyal to the principle of good
neighborliness and has stated that it will never allow Iran or any
other country to create threats from its territory. Iran’s
reaction, it seems, is less about neighborly kindness and more
about biting the hand that feeds.


After the first attack by the US and Israel against Iran on
February 28, the president of Azerbaijan, who immediately expressed
condolences for the death of Iran's Supreme Leader and visited the
embassy, was also planning to send humanitarian aid to Iran.
Azerbaijan continued to remain loyal to the policy of good
neighborliness both in theory and practice. However, Iran started
to undermine this policy by ignoring it.


Azerbaijan has never pursued hypocritical policies towards its
neighboring countries; on the contrary, it has always supported its
neighbors in times of hardship. Iran, on the other hand, has always
tried to form negative opinions about its neighbors and use them
for its own interests.


While Azerbaijan was developing positive relations with Iran,
the clerical regime targeted a civilian object and peaceful
citizens in the Nakhchivan region. This should be regarded as an
act of terrorism. The clerical regime, inclined to exterminate its
citizens under the name of religion through various methods,
carrying out a drone attack on civilian infrastructure, shows its
weakness and cowardice.


Azerbaijan has always made the aggressors regret their actions
and will continue to do so. Iran, as a result of its helplessness,
will both regret and must answer for its actions.


Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, while neighboring
countries have often been referred to as "friends and brothers,"
Iran has sought to pull the strings and steer these relationships
to suit its own agenda.
