Our message was simple - stop it!>,- Aliyev said. According to him, this was not made public, but said in a friendly way. <We took it as a deliberate disrespect. After that, other legal measures were taken, which led to threats from the neighboring country, and military exercises began near our borders, "Aliyev said. He lamented the new Iranian leadership, saying that the new Iranian government had failed foreign policy, recalling that relations with the previous Iranian government were very good. Numerous agreements were signed and implemented with the Rouhani government in the fields of energy, transport, cultural development, and security. Our relationship has become a symbol of friendship and good neighborliness, Aliyev said.
