    TEHRAN (FNA)- An informed source dismissed the recent charges raised
    by Azerbaijan about Iran's involvement in drug-trafficking in the
    country, and disclosed Baku's key role in protecting poppy farms in
    Afghanistan and spread of illicit drugs in the region.

    "Promotion of narcotics is a serious policy of some official circles
    in the Azerbaijan republic," an informed source, who asked to remain
    anonymous, told FNA on Tuesday.

    The source said that Azeri soldiers in collaboration with the US
    occupying troops are protecting poppy farms in Afghanistan.

    "The Azerbaijan republic has relocated part of its soldiers from
    the contact lines in Karabakh to Afghanistan in a bid to protect
    the poppy farms, which are a source of income for the occupiers,"
    the source noted.

    The revelation comes after Azeri security forces arrested an Iranian
    journalist on suspicion of drug possession in Azerbaijan., prompting
    a warning from Iran's embassy.

    The Azeri media claimed that the reporter, Anar Bayramli, who
    worked for Iranian TV, has been detained in Baku on charges of drug
    possession.

    Meantime, Bayramli's brother told contact.az that he had no doubts
    that the drug was planted by the police.

    A former Iranian civil defense official took the US and the Zionist
    regime responsible for detaining the reporter who works for the
    Iranian television in Azerbaijan.

    "The pressures of the Zionists and the US had a role in arresting the
    IRIB's reporter by the Azeri government," Former Director-General of
    Iran's Civil Defense Davoud Ahmadinejad told FNA on Monday.

    He referred to the efforts made by some reporters in revealing the
    relations between the Zionists and a number of regional governments,
    and said such states do their best to keep their ties with Israel
    hidden.

    On February 12, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Azeri Ambassador
    to Tehran Javanshir Akhundov to protest at Baku for sheltering several
    Mossad-trained terrorists who had assassinated the Iranian scientists.

    The director-general of the Iranian foreign ministry's office for
    commonwealth and Caucasus affairs voiced strong objection to the
    presence and unrestricted activity of Mossad intelligence agents
    in Azerbaijan, who are involved in espionage activities against the
    Islamic Republic.

    The Iranian Foreign Ministry also criticized the anti-Iran campaign
    on state-controlled Azeri news outlets and the degrading behavior of
    Azeri customs officials towards Iranian truck drivers.
