Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran resumes operation

ArmInfo. The Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran resumed its activities on April 12.

According to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, the embassy will  initially operate with a limited number of diplomatic and  administrative staff, including the ambassador.

It is noted that, taking into account security and organizational  issues, a gradual adjustment of the embassy's activities is planned.

"The resumption of the work of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran  shortly after the cessation of hostilities and the announcement of a  two-week ceasefire is clear evidence of the special importance  Azerbaijan attaches to relations with neighboring and friendly Iran.  Our country reaffirms its support for initiatives aimed at ensuring  sustainable peace and stability in the region," the Azerbaijani  Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

As a reminder, on March 5, Azerbaijan announced that four Iranian  drones had attacked Nakhchivan. In response, the Iranian ambassador  was summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. Moreover, on the  same day, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev convened the country's  Security Council and decided to rattle his sabre in front of Iran. As  usual, Aliyev threatened Azerbaijan with an "iron fist," labeling the  incident terrorism, and promised a proportionate response. And on  March 6, Azerbaijani authorities announced the evacuation of their  diplomats from Iran. Interestingly, all of these actions occurred  after Iran, at the level of the Foreign Ministry and the General  Staff, had already denied any involvement in the attack on the  Nakhchivan airport.
