    IRAN RECALLS AMBASSADOR FROM BAKU FOR TALKS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran has recalled its ambassador to Azerbaijan
    for consultations after a visit by Israeli President Shimon Peres to
    the Islamic Republic's northwestern neighbor, an Iranian news agency
    reported on June 29.

    Quoting an informed source, ISNA said the envoy was recalled to
    Tehran after Peres' visit to Azerbaijan on June 28 and "threats"
    which it said the Israeli ambassador in Baku had voiced against Iran,
    without elaborating.

    The semi-official Fars News Agency carried a similar report.

    Iran does not recognize Israel, which it refers to as the "Zionist
    regime." Israel has not ruled out military action if diplomatic
    efforts fail to resolve Tehran's nuclear row with the West. Tehran
    says its nuclear work is peaceful.

    On June 21, Peres, commenting on post-election unrest in Iran, said
    he hoped the current Iranian government would disappear.

    Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, who officially won the disputed
    June 12 election, has sparked outrage in the West by questioning
    the Holocaust and predicting the imminent demise of Israel, Reuters
    reported.
