    FM: IT WOULD BE LOGICAL TO HEAR IRANIAN ARMED FORCES STAFF CHIEF'S CALL TO ARMENIA TO WITHDRAW OCCUPYING FORCES FROM AZERBAIJANI TERRITORY

    The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has not received an official response
    to a note of protest delivered to Iranian ambassador in connection
    with the statements of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces
    Seyyed Hassan Firouzabadi.

    He spoke about the Azerbaijani leadership and people through the
    Iranian news agency FARS, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry official
    representative Elkhan Polukhov told Trend.

    Commenting on Firouzabadi's statements, Polukhov said that it was
    strange to hear the military's political appeals toward the country,
    which he calls a friendly country.

    It is also strange to see how his ministry cooperates with Armenia,
    which holds 20 percent of the Azerbaijani territories under occupation.

    "It would be logical to hear Firouzabadi's call and demand to Armenian
    militarists to withdraw occupying forces from Azerbaijani territory
    and to restore the violated rights of more than one million Azerbaijani
    refugees and internally displaced persons," Polukhov said.

    He said that in this case, Firouzabadi would perform a role more
    corresponding to his position.

    Azerbaijan delivered a note of protest to Iran due to unreasonable
    statements made by the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces
    Seyyed Hassan Firouzabadi toward the Azerbaijani leadership and
    people posted on Iranian Fars news agency's issue, Azerbaijani Foreign
    Ministry said.

    Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohammad Bagher Bahrami was summoned
    to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

    Receiving Bahrami Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Nadir Huseynov
    delivered the Azerbaijani side's protest note to him.

    The Foreign Ministry's note expresses strong protest against Iranian
    official's irresponsible slanders and notes that publication of
    statements on the Iranian press against the Azerbaijani people and
    government, which are contrary to Azerbaijan's national interests
    and security and distort domestic and foreign policy, contradicts
    the existing friendly relations between the two countries and their
    mutual obligations.

    Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry demanded the Iranian side to prevent
    further spread of such slanders, take the necessary steps so shat such
    a situation was not repeated any more, and demanded an explanation
    on the matter.
