Baku. Malahat Najafova - APA TV. "Iran recognizes territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan and supports its sovereignty. Azerbaijan
recognizes territorial integrity and borders of Iran as well. All
these are basic points and should be taken into account," said Iran's
ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pak Ayeen in his interview with APA TV,
while commenting on the news that Tehran supported Armenian militants
during Karabakh war posted on "irandiplomacy" website.
The ambassador said that the person, who the article cites to, is
unknown: "I have investigated it myself. This is the translation of
a sentence from the article posted by western media. The name of the
article is "Tel-Aviv and Azerbaijan against Iran". As it is seen,
the article aims to disrupt Azerbaijan-Iran relations. This news is
completely groundless."
The ambassador also commented on the incident that happened between
Tehran's "Istiglal" and Tabriz's "Traktor" football teams. Diplomat
said it was a common football confrontation: "A large number of
spectators watched the match, it was also broadcasted. Some people
attempt to present it differently. A flag of any country may be
raised in a stadium with 75 000 seats. Similar incident can happen
in Azerbaijan, too."
The ambassador noted that Azerbaijan and Iran are fraternal and
friendly countries, these incidents and news reports do not reflect
the interests of both countries and nations.
