Azerbaijani political scientists agree in views that the construction
of the U.S radar station in the territory of the country must not
affect negatively the Azerbaijani-Iranian relations.
Commenting negative reaction of some Iranian mass media on the issue,
Vafa Guluzada, the former adviser to the Azerbaijani President,
noted that the position of Iran is natural.
"Iran must understand that Azerbaijan peruses its own goals, but the
United States carries out its own plans in the region," he underlined.
"Iran must regard extending of the cooperation between Azerbaijan
and the United States as normal," Uzeyir Jafarov, the military expert
noted in his turn. Issue of license on construction of radar station
is internal affair of Azerbaijan.
"If Iran strengthen it relations with Armenia, but Azerbaijan does not
regard it as serious danger for its national interests, then Iran must
accept the fact of development of the Azerbaijani-U.S. relations,"
he added.
In his turn, MP Anar Mammadkhanov stressed that the Iranian-Azerbaijani
relations would be subjected to any serious changes. "Iran must
understand that Azerbaijan takes the steps not for pleasure, but to
ensure national interests," he said.
