The Azerbaijani parliament has strongly condemned the anti-Azerbaijani
propaganda which started recently in Iran.
MP from the ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) Mubariz Gurbanli,
touching upon the Eurovision contest, expressed regret that the
Armenian lobby and some Iranian circles are opposed to holding the
contest in Baku.
"We condemn those who organise these anti-Azerbaijani rallies in Iran.
This is a country which calls itself an Islamic one, shouldn't maintain
friendly relations with Armenia, which sheds the blood of Muslims,
but still continues to be friends. Therefore, I believe that the
rally held by the patriotic Azerbaijani youth of in front of the
Iranian Embassy in Baku, was justified," Gurbanli said.
The MP also stressed that Iran, being in solidarity with the
country-aggressor Armenia, poses a threat to the security of the
region.
"These actions of Tehran are contrary to the documents signed with
Iran. In addition, Iran has now withdrawn its ambassador from Baku,"
he said. "Recall of an ambassador always has a negative impact on
bilateral relations," he added.
The Iranian side continues to interfere in the internal affairs of
Azerbaijan, MP Ganira Pashayeva said. She said those in Iran, who
say that the Eurovision contest is contrary to Islam, did not react
on the 20th anniversary of Shusha's occupation by Armenians.
Public figures that use religious rhetoric as a cover for their
anti-Azerbaijani statements have not reacted to the murder of
Azerbaijanis in Shusha and the destruction by the Armenians in this
city of monuments of Islamic culture, the deputy said.
"No state has a right to interfere in the internal affairs of
Azerbaijan," she said.
The MP also recalled the arrest of two Azerbaijani poets in Iran and
noted that there is still no information about their arrest. At the
same time she expressed her indignation with the facts when people
travelling for treatment in Iran are taken hostage and exchanged for
smugglers arrested with drugs.
