    On 10 September, the defense minister of Azerbaijan Republic,
    colonel-general Safar Abiyev met the ambassador of Iran in Baku
    Mr. Ahad Gazai, on completion of the latterâ^À^Ùs diplomatic mission
    in Azerbaijan.

    Noting the diplomatâ^À^Ùs activity for improvement of the bilateral
    relations between Azerbaijan and Iran during his mission, the Minister
    expressed regret that though neighboring counties, the military
    cooperation between the states are not at desirable level. The state
    of IRI has rendered huge assistance to the refugees and IDPs when
    the territories of Azerbaijan were occupied by Armenia. The Minister
    expressed gratitude for rendered assistance.

    Ambassador Gazai expressed gratitude for reception, and spoke of
    his activities during his four-year tenure as an ambassador for
    improvement of Iran-Azerbaijan relations, as a result of which some
    â^À^Üobscureâ^À^Ý questions between the two states were clarified and
    the situation, though not ideal, has bettered. Reciprocal visits of
    the national leader of Azerbaijan people Heydar Aliyev in 2002 and
    of President of IRI Khatami current year have promoted this.

    Touching upon the Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorny Karabakh conflict,
    colonel-general Safar Abiyev, said that in settlement of this problem
    the people of Azerbaijan expects more from Iran and stressed the
    necessity of Iranâ^À^Ùs close participation in fi9nding way out of this
    conflict. The conflict cannot last anymore, he emphasized. â^À^ÜIf
    Armenia does not agree in peaceful settlement of the conflict,
    Azerbaijan will in any way release the occupied landsâ^À^Ý.

    The parties had also exchange of views on combat against international
    terrorism, stressed such a factor that the Islamic religion and
    culture condemns terror.

    The Minister thanked Ambassador for his activity in Azerbaijan and
    wished success in further diplomatic work.
